About the Riverbank Run for the Cheese (50th Anniversary Run)
The courses run through residential streets with tree cover throughout. The shortest distance loops a neighborhood block and stays completely flat. The longer courses roll gently, nothing steep, just the natural rise and fall of a quiet suburb. Strollers are welcome on the mid-distance course, and runners pushing them can take the longer route too.
Packet pickup runs the evening before at a local theater in town, with race-morning pickup available before the first wave goes off. The start area is close to that same theater, so the logistics are straightforward if you are coming from out of the area.
