The River Reaper Trail Race is a new event paying homage to the retired Phlox Run, a legendary local race on the Grand Valley Trail system skirting the Grand River. While our trail network may lack serious elevation challenges, what it does provide is fast and smooth single track with a healthy dose of roots and rocks, away from the maddening crowds, in a pristine tract of Carolinian forest.
Don't let the gentle nature of our single track fool you, this is a trail runners trail race. Remote, isolated, very few aid stations or aid opportunities, you're out their on your own, just you and your 'stuff', as many of you like it...
The River Reaper will offer two distances. A shorter, less challenging 8k race for the the 'Apres All Day' crowd, and a longer 25km offering for those who are a little more prepared to meet their maker on any given day of reckoning.
We are donating all of the proceeds from The River Reaper to our local trail crew who continue to work hard at adding to our extensive network and maintaining it throughout every season. We will be updating this page regularly with more details.
Registration is currently closed but The River Reaper is waiting for 2025, lurking around every turn in the trail, run for your lives!
