We are excited to announce that the 12th Annual RGI River Run, which benefits Kicks For Kids (KFK), will once again launch the Tri-state's summer running season! Taking place at 9:15 AM on the Saturday (5/24/08) of Memorial Day weekend, the proceeds of the RGI River Run will support KFK's efforts to "level the playing field" for local children who are challenged physically, mentally or by the environment in which they live.

Last year's RGI River Run set records in terms of number of participants and funds raised. In an effort to build upon these successes, the unique features of the event will once again be featured -- Registration and all of the post-race events will occur at the scenic Purple People Bridge; the 5K run/walk will bridge Newport, Covington and Cincinnati; the touching Special K for children with physical and/or mental disabilities will once again be offered, as will the exciting Children's Fun Run; Cincinnati, Ohio's The RumRunners will perform live; participants will have the chance to win great awards and will be registered for the highly anticipated door prize drawing, and each entrant will receive a ticket good for free food and drink at the post-event party at Arnie's on the Levee!

Our goal for the 12th Annual RGI River Run on 5/24/08 is for it to be a quality fundraiser that appeals to top runners as well as recreational athletes and families. We are confident that on May 24th you will find that we have achieved this goal.
