The River Run
The River Run is one of our most successful annual fundraisers held locally at Central Waters Brewery, usually on the second Saturday in October. We welcome hundreds of runners and walkers to join in a 5 Mile or 2 Mile Race to help raise funds for our community center. Registration entitles participants on race day to a t-shirt, a can of River Run beer, and the option to purchase a bottle of the limited and highly sought-after Central Waters Black Gold. There is also a Falcon Fun Run held for 5 -10 year olds where they receive a fun gift for participating.
