About the AnMed Rhythm on the River 5k & 1 Mile
The course loops Dolly Cooper Park along the Saluda River, passing sports fields and through the disc golf course before returning to the festival area. The trail is mostly packed dirt, mostly flat, with one real hill in the mix. The longer distance runs the loop several times; the shorter option completes it once.
Packet pickup happens race morning at a table set up near the start and finish. Bibs are assigned there on the spot. Parking is at the park itself; arriving early gives you time to park, check in, and settle before the pre-race briefing. After the race, a full festival gets underway with live music and food trucks along the river.

The AnMed Rhythm on the River 5k & 1 Mile has been held every year since at least 2026. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Oct 25, 2026.
