The Gate River Run (GRR), formerly known as the Jacksonville River Run, is an annual 15 kilometer road running event in Jacksonville, Florida that attracts both competitive and recreational runners. It has been the US National Championship 15K since 1994 and in 2007 became the largest 15K race in the country
From 1997-2006 the Boilermaker Road Race (in Utica, New York) was known as the largest 15K in the country. It is still known today as being one of the largest.
