From the organizer
If you enjoy running or walking, come join the fun and be a part of the Russiaville Race!
You may pre-register (to assure that you receive a towel) or you can register the day of the race. Sign-ins are from 8:30-9:15am on race day at the Russiaville Lions Club at 555 North Liberty. The 5K begins promptly at 9:15am and the 1 Mile Fun Run will follow at 10:15am. All runners in the Fun Run ages 12 & under will receive a medal. The course heads south of Russiaville and curves back.
Towels will be given to pre-registered runners/walkers first and will be available on a first come, first serve basis.
We are proud to partner with Ainsley’s Angels of America, a non-profit group that aims to build awareness about America’s special needs community through inclusion in all aspects of life. They serve as advocates to provide education and participation as active members in their local communities. ALL RIDERS RIDE FREE IN BOTH RACES.
Funds raised from both race registrations will be split between Ainsley's Angels and the Carl Koontz Scholarship Fund.
