The Twilight River Run, presented by Riddell National Bank, takes place Friday, July 26 at Fairbanks Park. Participants can choose a 1-mile run/walk or a 5k run/walk. This is a NIGHT race. The 1-mile starts at 9:30 p.m. and the 5k starts at 10 p.m. Age group awards will be given. Deadline to register and receive a t-shirt is July 19. Packet pick-up will take place Friday, July 26, from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. at Riddell National Bank, 4210 S US Hwy 41 (south location).

Each year the Twilight River Run includes a high school team event where schools can compete as a group to win money for their school running program. Each team must consist of at least four members. High school awards for both girls and boys. The four fastest times from each team will be used for the team placement. Team members are eligible for individual age group awards. The school team with the lowest cumulative time will win $250, and the second place team will win $100 for their school running program.

Awards will be given; including overall awards, age group awards, and walker awards. Awards are based on 5-year age groups. The number of awards per age group will be determined based on the pre-registered numbers in each age group. Awards range from 1 to 3 per age group. There are also walker awards that are not age based or gender based. The number of walker awards will be based on the number of pre-registered walkers and will be awarded based on the first walker across the finish line and so on. IF YOU ARE SIGNED UP AS A WALKER, PLEASE DO NOT RUN! We have competitive walkers who work hard to win the race and it wouldn’t be fair for a someone to run part of the race and beat out a competitive walker who walked the complete event.

The Twilight River Run also funds the WVRR scholarship program. Each year WVRR awards two scholarships to outstanding student athletes from the Wabash Valley. Applicants are evaluated based on their academic and athletic accomplishments as well as the contributions they make to their schools and communities.
