About This Race
The Run Thru The Rapids 5K and 10K are among the oldest running events in Grand Rapids, established in 1969 as part of the University of Michigan Health-West Grand Rapids Marathon Weekend celebrating 57 years of tradition. The road course loops through downtown Grand Rapids, crossing the historic Sixth Street Bridge for panoramic views of the city along the Grand River, then continuing toward Millennium Park on paved paths through natural settings and past scenic lakes. All proceeds from the Run Thru The Rapids events directly support the YMCA Camp Manitou Lin scholarship fund.
