Maple Syrup Fun Run 10K/5K

River Bend Nature Center hosts its 8th annual Maple Syrup Fun Run on April 28th. A challenging new 10K race has been added to this year’s event and the returning 5K run and one-mile walk have new routes on the scenic nature center trails.  Prizes will be awarded to the top male and female runners in the 10K run and to the top male and female adult and youth (under 18) runners in the 5K run. The one-mile walk is a great way to show your support for River Bend or to have a nice family stroll on the nature center’s trails.  Participants will receive a Fun Run backpack, a sample bottle of Anderson’s Pure Maple Syrup, and more (while supplies last).  Due to the growth in the number of participants, the pancake brunch will not be held the same day as the Fun Run this year. We apologize to any disappointed would-be pancake eaters.  Pre-register for the race for best prices, and members – as always – get a discount!
