About the Mitchell's Run Thru Rockford 2026
The course runs through downtown Rockford and follows along the Rogue River and the White Pine Trail. The surroundings shift between the old commercial buildings of the main streets and the quieter stretch of trail along the water. It is a point-to-point style route with mile markers for anyone tracking their effort.
Packet pickup happens at the Rotary Pavilion downtown, at the corner of Squires Street and Courtland Street. There is a window the evening before the race and another on race morning before the start. The pickup location puts you right in the heart of where everything happens.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2025 results, this is a decent-sized field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Mitchell's Run Thru Rockford 2026 has been held every year since at least 2016. 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 Jul 27, 2026.
