Riverside School To Host 40th Annual Riverside Run

GREENWICH, CT — Riverside School is hosting the 40th annual Riverside Run on Saturday, May 10, beginning at 8:30 a.m.

For 40 years, this community event has taken runners on a scenic three-mile course through the neighborhood of Riverside. The run includes the main three mile walk/run at 8:30 a.m., as well as a series of “Fun Runs” for children in Kindergarten through fifth grade, to commence at 9:30 a.m.

The Fun Runs take place in the front of Riverside School. Medals and trophies will be awarded to top finishers of both events.

“I’m really looking forward to experiencing my first Riverside Run - especially during its 40th year,” said Riverside School Principal Jason Martín in a news release. “It’s such an awesome tradition that brings everyone together. From the students running, to families cheering, and all the volunteers who make it happen, the energy and community spirit are just incredible.”

The first 500 participants to sign up will receive a race t-shirt and a take-away bag. Timing mats will be at the start and finish line to ensure accurate timing for the main run. Additionally, jogging strollers are welcome.

Online registration is now open. The registration fee for the three-mile run is $30 and the Kids Fun Run is $15. Runners who register before Friday, April 18, will have their name printed on their race bib.

The event also accepts “day of” registration until 30 minutes before race time.

Proceeds of the event benefit Riverside School PTA programs that enrich classroom curriculum, support teachers and staff, and strengthen the school community.
