The Amway River Bank Run celebrates its 49th year in 2026 and is celebrated as the largest 25K road race in the country, attracting over 10,000 participants and serving as the esteemed site for the USA 25 km Open and Masters Championships.

The USATF-certified 25K course begins in downtown Grand Rapids on Ottawa Avenue near Lyon Street, guiding runners south through scenic parks and alongside the picturesque Grand River before returning for an exciting finish on Monroe Avenue near Pearl Street.
