WAMBO RIVER RUN UPDATE: Registration will begin at 7:30. Shirts and swag bags are no longer available but we will be accepting registration Saturday morning from 7:30 until 8:30. The race begins at 9:00 am. Free coffee is available at the park starting at 8:00am. We are having difficulty with the map option but the route is quite simple. It is an out-and-back run, beginning at Steinhoff Park, going up Mary, turning onto Margaret and heading east up the North River Line. There are water stations at the 2.5 k, 5k and 7.5 k marks. Good luck and have fun out there!!!!!
There will be an antique fire truck along the route, providing a refreshing mist for our runners. Plaques will be presented to the overall winners, and we will present plaques to the fastest male and female participants in each age category (11 and under, 12-19, 20-29, 30-39,40-49, 50-59 and 60 and over. Fruit and cold beverages will await runners at the finish line. T-shirts will be presented to all finishers who register before August 2 (was extended 7-24-2013). We have ordered extra shirts for those registering after August 2, but we cannot guarantee sizes or quantities. Once the race is completed, we encourage all participants to enjoy the sights and sounds of WAMBO, located in the downtown core. Hundreds of antique cars, boats, and fire trucks are available for viewing. Plenty of delicious food and beverage options await you as well.
