The River to River Runners Club was established in 1984 as an
outgrowth of the Herrin Road Runners to promote running and fitness
in Southern Illinois. Organizing and conducting quality running
events has been the Club's primary goal since its inception. An
equally important objective; however, is to encourage running as
sport and healthful exercise, and to support activities which
educate the community about the importance of physical fitness. To
further these goals, the River to River Runners sponsors a wide variety of races and other
running-related activities throughout the year, providing something
for every member, no matter what age, sex, or running ability. Best
of all, camaraderie and mutual support remain the touchstones for
River to River members
