About the Heppe Chiropractic 15K & 5K
The route follows the river, cuts through the old downtown streets, and picks up a heritage trail and canal path before looping back to Riverfront Park on Sophia Street. The surface changes as the course moves between trail and pavement, so the footing shifts throughout. Both distance options cover the same general ground.
Parking is available at the start. Riverfront Park sits right on the water, so the finish area opens up naturally for spectators and post-race lingering.

The Heppe Chiropractic 15K & 5K has been held every year since at least 2023. 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.
