A big event in west Michigan, the Amway River Bank Run, is going virtual this year because of COVID-19. Russ Hines is the owner of River Bank Events and Media, the owner of the races. He spoke with Michigan News Network about the event.

“With everything that’s happened with COVID, we’ve been forced to cancel so many different things across our great state and across our country, and we’re unfortunately one of those events,” Hines said.

Hines says you can still take part in the 5k, 10k and 25k in a virtual format and then they will have a drive-thru celebration October 24th at Millenium Park in Walker. Runners will receive their finisher’s medal, a t-shirt and other items in the drive-thru event. You can register for the run at AmwayRiverBankRun.com.
