About the R.I.P. the Loop with PRTC and Cloudline
The race follows the full loop of MLK Drive, a road along the river that closes to cars on weekends. There is no chip timing here: runners finish on the honor system, with a photographer at Falls Bridge confirming everyone made it the whole way. Costumes are encouraged, and the field tends to dress for the occasion.
Everything starts and finishes at Lloyd Hall. The community run offers several pace groups for runners who want company over distance without the race pressure. A costume contest follows the run, and awards go to the top finishers across divisions.
