Prediction Runs

Southern, IL
River to River Runners - Prediction Runs What is a Prediction Run? A prediction run is entirely different from other races that you’ve run in the past. Rather than finishing first or running the fastest, the object of a prediction run is to finish as close to your predicted time as possible. Can I use any sort of electronic device (i.e. watch, heart rate monitor, sundial, car, etc)? No, that would make it much too easy. No watches allowed! How long is the course? You won’t find out till you get there! Usually between 2.5 miles and 4.5 miles. How much does it cost? $1….Probably the cheapest race you will ever run. How do I get involved? Just show up.  The race times and locations are listed below and on our events page.  The races are open to members and non-members. However club members earn points at each race for a chance to win some money at the Annual River to River Runners Banquet held in January.

American Bottoms 100

Columbia, IL
WELCOME TO THE AMERICAN BOTTOM This is a unique road ultra on a beautiful course, following the Mississippi River, as you run through the historic American Bottom. Race headquarters is in Columbia, Illinois just outside of St. Louis, Missouri. The race offers a 110 mile and a 55 mile option. The course will loosely follow the American Discovery Trail and the Kaskaskia - Cahokia Trail (Illinois' first road). You’ll watch the sun rise over the Illinois bluffs while running on levees and deserted backroads, from Columbia to the confluence of the Kaskaskia and Mississippi Rivers. You’ll make your way through many historic sites, including Piggott's Fort, Fort de Chartres, and the town of Prairie du Rocher. This is a flat and fast course with generous cut off times, plenty of aid stations, and a friendly atmosphere. It will make a great first hundred miler, or a chance for you to set a new personal record at this distance. So, if you're interested in a no frills ultra with a low

Fox Valley Winter Challenge Trail Series 10K

St. Charles, IL
The final race of the 2026 Winter Challenge Trail Series is here—and it’s the big one. On March 22, we take on a great 10K at Hickory Knolls Discovery Center in St. Charles, wrapping up the series with one last shot at winter trail glory. The course has a little bit of everything: dirt paths, crushed limestone, a few short climbs, and long stretches that test your pacing. After the 5K and 8K, this race is where it all comes together. It’s longer, it’s tougher, and yeah—your legs are probably going to feel it. Trail conditions? Total wildcard. Could be slick, could be muddy, could be fast. Either way, you’re earning that finish. Every runner gets a finisher medal and winter swag. If you’ve completed all three races, you’ll finally get to piece your medal set together and score the bonus gear for finishing the full challenge. Whether you're chasing a strong finish or just out to complete the series, this 10K is the perfect way to close it out. Show up, push hard, and enjoy the fact t
