The 49th annual Amway River Bank Run, scheduled for May 9 in Algoma Township, Michigan, is partnering with local charities including the Equest Center for Therapeutic Riding. The Equest Center provides therapeutic horseback riding sessions to over 200 individuals weekly, helping those with physical, mental, social, and emotional challenges improve their wellbeing. Participants in the race are encouraged to support the center by creating fundraisers and engaging with the charity through the Amway River Bank Run website.

In addition to race-related activities, the Equest Center will host its annual “Easter With The Equest Bunny” event, offering families a chance to learn more about their programs. Organizers emphasize that the event and race foster community spirit by bringing together runners, volunteers, and supporters for a shared cause, highlighting the unifying power of the Amway River Bank Run in West Michigan.
