About the RAMP River Run Half Marathon
RAMP, the disability services nonprofit that gives the race its name, has hosted the River Run in downtown Rockford for more than a decade. The half marathon headlines a family-oriented morning that also includes a 5K and a 3K walk and wheel event, and it counts in the Rockford Road Runners circuit standings.
Course
The certified course starts and finishes downtown, with the Rock River corridor shaping the route. It is a road course without major climbs, and the mid-August date makes heat management a bigger factor than the terrain.
Race-day weather
Mid-August in northern Illinois is warm and often humid, with starts near 70 and temperatures climbing through the morning. The 7:30 start helps, but the final miles usually run warm.
