The Riverview Ramble is returning to Mount Carmel for a sixth year.
During last Monday’s City Council meeting, Mount Carmel Public Utility President and CEO David James requested permission to host the 2026 Riverview Ramble on the last Saturday in October, which falls on Halloween, October 31st.
James told the council the annual race continues to draw participants from across the region. He said 150 runners from eight different states took part in last year’s event.
Since the race began in 2021, James noted the Riverview Ramble has generated more than $37,000 in donations to local charitable organizations in Mount Carmel.
James asked the council for approval to move forward with this year’s event, which has become a growing community tradition.
Council members expressed support for the race and its impact, noting both the economic benefit of bringing visitors to town and the continued contributions to local charities.
