Our Mission

“To train and motivate novice and veteran runners of all ages and ability levels to achieve their personal health, fitness, and athletic performance goals”

Our Brief History

The 5Rivers Running Team was formed in early 2007 after a need was recognized to coach, train, and mentor novice as well as veteran runners. The name 5Rivers relates to the five waterways (Great Miami River, Stillwater River, Mad River, Twin Creek and Wolf Creek) in Dayton and Montgomery County area.
