About the MISSION INN RUN
The course winds through downtown Riverside, passing parks, landmarks, and historic neighborhoods before finishing on Mission Inn Avenue. The route is point-to-point, starting on a main downtown street and threading through the older parts of the city. Strollers and dogs are welcome, and the walk option draws families alongside the runners.
Packet pickup runs the afternoon before the race at a health fair along the Main Street pedestrian mall in downtown Riverside, with race-morning pickup available as a backup. Street parking is generally free on race day, but the city charges for garages and some lots, so arriving early and checking the downtown parking map is worth the effort.
