Rocketts Landing Run to the River

Join us Saturday October 20th, 2012 at 9:30am for a truly challenging 10k! You will tackle 3 hills, conquer 2 stair sets, run over cobble stones, dash through historic neighborhoods, and race along the banks of the James River in this awesome Urban X-Country race.

Or, if that sounds too intense, you can bring your family on the 5k walk through the scenic East End. After the race, celebrate at the finish line party in your American-made race shirt. You will enjoy the best race food you’ve ever had and a live band and prizes.

ALL proceeds from this event support quality programs and resources for children and adults at the Neighborhood Resource Center, a 501c3 non-profit, whose mission is to foster personal growth and community change in Greater Fulton. http://www.nrccafe.org http://www.runtotheriver.org
