2014 Groton Riverfront Run:
8TH ANNUAL RIVERFRONT RUN
5K+ ROAD RACE and FAMILY FUN RUN
The Riverfront Children's Center of Groton will host the ANNUAL RIVERFRONT RUN.
All ages and abilities are welcome.
The RIVERFRONT RUN is the only Annual Road Race scheduled within Groton City and a great way to kick off the running season, whether you are a serious runner, just want to have a fun morning at Eastern Point Beach, or anywhere in between!
The Riverfront Run offers two courses, a 5K+ Road Race and a Family Fun Run.
The 5K+ is a USATF certified, 3.425 mile loop course that begins and ends at Eastern Point Beach and follows a scenic route through Shennecossett Golf Course and local neighborhoods. The course is relatively flat and fast; and timing is by SNERRO.
The Family Fun Run follows a shorter 1.3-mile course on quiet residential streets and is perfect for younger runners, walkers and families, including those with strollers. All families receive a participation certificate and all children receive a medal for finishing.
All proceeds of the RIVERFRONT RUN benefit Riverfront's Tuition Assistance Program, which provides need based, Center awarded scholarships to some of Riverfront's neediest, most at-risk children. Join us for a fun morning and support a great cause, too!
The Riverfront Childrens Center provides high quality, NAEYC accredited early education experience and full time care to over 100 children each day, many from working families who would otherwise be unable to afford it. Riverfront also offers referral services, on-site support, and educational opportunities for parents.
The Riverfront Children's Center is a 501-c-3 non-profit, and contributions are tax deductible.
