All participants will receive ribbons, and trophies will be given to those who earn top places.
“After a two-year pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are welcoming back the Riverside Run,” said Christopher Weiss, Principal, Riverside School. “We look forward to seeing students, families and community members come together once again to participate, cheer on, and volunteer and continue our annual long-standing tradition.”
All participants will receive a race t-shirt and a take-away gift bag. Timing mats will be at the start and finish line to ensure accurate timing for the main run. Race day is Saturday, May 7th , rain or shine and races begin at 8:30am for the three-mile run and 9:30am for the Kids Fun Run.
Online registration is now open to the public at www.rivpta.org. The registration fee for the three-mile run is $30 and the Kids Fun Run is $15. Proceeds of the event benefit PTA programs that enrich classroom curriculum and support teachers and staff.
Runners who register before Tuesday, April 12th will have their name printed on their race bib. The event also accepts “day of” registration before the race.
