Calling all Greater Fulton walkers and runners! Help support local education and arts programs for kids by registering for the Rocketts Landing Run to the River, a charity run to support the Neighborhood Resource Center. The event includes:

• 5K Walk – fun and easy-paced stroll through Montrose Heights, Gillies Creek Park & Rocketts Landing
• 10K Hill Run – Runners dash along cobblestone streets and through historic neighborhoods in one of Richmond’s best 10K races. If you’re bored with flat races, this is the race for you! With a variety of terrain, challenging hills and scenic views of the riverfront, this is one race you won’t want to miss.
• Finish Line Party – free massages, delicious food & coffee, live music & tours. Open house! Stop by and learn about the programs we offer and what we do.
