We are excited that the 19th Annual RGI River Run to benefit Kicks for Kids (KFK) will once again kick off the Tri-state’s summer running season! The proceeds of the RGI River Run on Saturday (5/23/15) will support KFK’s goal of “leveling the playing field” for local children challenged physically, mentally or by the environment in which they live.
To make the 2015 event another success, affordable pricing and other unique components will once again be featured! Registration and all post-race events will occur near the scenic Purple People Bridge; the 5K run/walk will bridge Newport, Covington & Cincinnati; the powerful Special K (for children with special needs) will again take place near the Peace Bell; the unique Parent/Child teams and the exciting Children’s Fun Run will once again be offered. New to the event this year will be the School Team Challenge. The school with the biggest team can earn money for their school while giving back to the community! Awards, top prizes, live music and a ticket for free food & drink at the post-event party make this event one you will want to be a part of!
In partnership with Covington Partners and Cincinnati Children’s Perlman Center, our goal is to provide an event that appeals to everyone…top runners as well as recreational athletes alike, families, students and those with special needs. There is a way for EVERYONE to participate and raise funds for kids in the process! We are condent that we will see you on Saturday, May 23!
