Meet the Team
River City Races began in 2003 with Camille Estes, an area runner and business owner. Camille saw a need in the local running community to make the sport more easily accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels and decided she would be the one to fill it! River City Races provides race management and timing services for many events including charity fundraisers and private company functions. We see ourselves as a family. Not just within our staff but within our devoted following of runners who seek out our events knowing that each one will not just be impeccably managed, but guaranteed fun!
River City Races is proud to be a family owned and operated business.
Camille Estes, Owner & Founder
We wouldn't be here without Camille! Camille has 40+ years of running experience and is always happy to share her knowledge. In April of 2017 Camille relocated to Colorado Springs, CO where she continues to be the backbone of River City Races. While she's working hard Camille and her husband Jim still spend plenty of time in the great Colorado outdoors with their three rescue dogs Booker, Ike and Roscoe.
