Get ready for a day of fun and philanthropy at the 20th Annual Run for Riley, taking place on Sunday, October 4th, 2026, in Fort Wayne, Allen! This exciting event invites runners and walkers of all ages to support a great cause while enjoying the scenic beauty of the Fort Wayne Greenway. Participants can choose between the competitive 5-mile chip-timed race or the more relaxed untimed 5K event. Both races kick off at Maple Creek Middle School, with the routes offering stunning views and a vibrant atmosphere as runners make their way along the paved trails.

After crossing the finish line on the school track, join fellow participants in the cafeteria for a lively post-race celebration featuring a silent auction, awards for the top finishers, and delicious treats that the Run for Riley is famous for. Don’t miss the heartwarming moment when the total donation to Riley Children's Hospital is announced, showcasing the wonderful impact of your participation. Lace up your running shoes and be part of this uplifting community event that combines fitness, fun, and charity for a worthy cause!
