For over 100 years, Victoria Avenue has been the jewel of Riverside. The 11 mile stretch between Myrtle Avenue and La Sierra Avenue is a fully landscaped linear park maintained by the City of Riverside and utilized by the community for recreation. There is a paved pedestrian walkway where you can find people running, walking dogs, biking with their small children and just enjoying the natural beauty of the avenue. Victoria Avenue is also used by local clubs.
Run Riverside is a community focused running club dedicated to bringing people together though running, connection, and a shared passion for an active life style. We welcome all paces and experience levels, creating an inclusive environment where everyone can feel supported, motivated and a part of something bigger. More than just a run club, Run Riverside is a community built one mile-and one friendship at a time. We meet 3 times a week, every week, at different locations. On Saturday’s we run Victoria Avenue, meeting at 6:30 am at the corner of Lincoln and Victoria Avenue. For Run Riverside on Instagram: @run_riverside
