Riverbend Ultras 12 HR/50K/Fun Run
Come join us at the River Pavilion on Picnic Island in beautiful Riverbend Park! This will be a special year as we honor the lost ones from September 11, 2011. We shall wear our red, white, and blue and race shirts will have the colors of the flag. Run a 5k-ish (3.2 mi) loop along the tranquil Loxahatchee River over gravel trails (including a section of the Lake to Ocean Trail) through the oaks and cabbage palms while scoping all the deer, turkey, turtles, raccoons, and myriad of birds along the way. This is a low-key, low-stress event focused on community and love of Nature, with something for everyone.
12-Hour: As many 3.25 mile Riverbend Loops as participant can complete within the timeframe. After 6PM, runners will transfer to the Picnic Island Loop for the remainder of their time.
50-K: 2 .85 mile Picnic Island Loops plus 9 3.25 Riverbend Loops for a total of 31.2 total miles.
There will be trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3dd Place Male and Female in each distance. ALL 50k and 12-Hour Runners get shirts and medals.
For the 50K or 12-hour officially there is a minimum cost to cover medals, awards and shirts. Fun Run participants are charged a nominal fee covering a donation and medal with an option to add a t-shirt to their registration; they will not have their time tracked and do not qualify for awards. No aid stations so you will have to bring your own food, water, and fuel. Runners have access to the large tiki hut with lots of tables or bring 10'x10' pop up tents. There is plenty of room to set up for the whole day.
This is a non-profit endeavor and ALL proceeds beyond basic overhead will go to benefit the Wounded veterans relief fund
There are NO refunds offered; in the event a registrant can not participate, their registration can be deferred to the following year; forfeited registration fees will be submitted as a direct donation to Wounded veterans relief fund.
