About the 2026 Mike Miller River Run
The course runs mostly on sidewalks through the parks along the waterfront, weaving past a public beach and looping back through a stretch of town before returning to the start. Road traffic is minimal. The race doubles as the kickoff to a local holiday festival, and runners are encouraged to show up in costume.
Registration and check-in happen at a bar in town before the race, and the same spot is where runners land afterward for chili dogs and drinks. The start is at a park at the south end of town, so you will want to factor in a short trip between the two.

The 2026 Mike Miller River Run has been held every year since at least 2024. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
