Mid America Rehab's Race Across the River - 2026

This will be a once in a lifetime experience for the residents of Perry County, Missouri and Randolph County, Illinois. Over the years, we have been fortunate to receive generous sponsorships from our local business community and they have been a huge part of the success and fundraising of this event!

This event is a 5K Run/Walk or push your child in a stroller. So be sure to pick either the Run/Walk or Child in Stroller event to register.

Through the collective efforts of our sponsors and participants, we have already donated an impressive $52,700 for our high school athletic programs. Please know that every dollar of your contribution goes directly to supporting our local athletes and the programs that support them at Perryville High School and St. Vincent High School. This year we are including Chester High School as well as the Perry County schools to receive the proceeds from our race. Your involvement as a participant helps empower young athletes, foster their growth, and makes a lasting impact on the local community.
