Riverboat Series Day 3

Riverboat Series Day 3 is run on April 14, 2027 in Hollandale, Mississippi. As on the other days, five formats are offered: a 50K (31 miles), a marathon (26.2 miles), a half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K (6.2 miles) and a 5K (3.1 miles).

Being able to choose your distance on the morning of the third day is what makes a series like this workable. Runners chasing a marathon in every state can take the full distance and keep the streak intact; anyone whose legs have had enough can take the 10K or 5K and still start. Recovery between days matters more than any workout you did beforehand: eat within the hour after finishing, keep moving gently in the afternoon rather than sitting still, and get the shoes and socks dry before the next morning.
