The
1st Annual Run for the Rivers, 5K & 10K race, will be held in Verona, WI, just outside
Madison. Dane County’s health-, fitness- and environmentally-conscious
residents make the city a perfect fit for ADventure Advertising's
midwestern expansion of their Run for the Rivers race series.
(Atlanta, GA has played host to the Subaru Run for the River
5K for the last three years.)
Proceeds
from the Run for the Rivers 5K & 10K
will benefit the River Alliance of Wisconsin, a non-profit,
non-partisan organization working since 1993 to protect, enhance
and restore Wisconsin’s rivers and watersheds. Made up
of 2,700 members and over 100 businesses and local groups,
the River Alliance of Wisconsin is Wisconsin’s only conservation
organization devoted to restoring and protecting the state’s
rivers and streams. Learn more about the River Alliance of
Wisconsin at www.wisconsinrivers.org.
