Location

The River Running or Celduin is a river that flows out of Erebor in Eryn Lasgalen and the Dale-lands. ^{[28.9N, 25.9W]}

Cascading down from the Front Gate of Erebor, some of the river's water is diverted to form the canal of Dale, ^{[27.2N, 25.0W]} which flows back into the river at the south end of the city. ^{[23.8N, 25.3W]} The river bends south-west around Dale and through the Dale-lands, then turns sharply south-east just south of the ruins of Bendburn. ^{[22.1N, 27.8W]} From there it flows before a great rocky height and over another waterfall into the Long Lake. ^{[20.4N, 25.9W]}

The River Running continues at the south end of the lake, spilling over a greater waterfall and on to the Fields of Celduin. ^{[10.0N, 26.4W]} There, it turns east away from Eryn Lasgalen, towards the Sea of Rhûn. Along the way, it merges with the river Carnen, the Redwater, which flows south from the Iron Hills.
