The Riffell Run is a 5 kilometer race held in memory of Dr. Sam Riffell. Dr. Riffell was a professor in the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Aquaculture. Sadly, he passed away in 2014. All proceeds from this race will be donated to the college fund of Dr. Riffell's daughters.
The race will be held on the R.R. Foil Plant Science Research Center, also known as North Farm. Please note that the race course will include both paved and gravel roads. Parking will be be available in the parking lots of the Research Park on Research Blvd.
Registration for the race includes a white moisture wicking t-shirt (guaranteed to first 50 participants and those that register before March 30, 2015), number bid, and light refreshments after the race. Those that register for the $15 donation will receive a t-shirt and light refreshments after the race. You can also do the $15 donation and not attend on race day, but you will not receive a t-shirt if you do not attend. You will be charged an additional $2.50 processing fee upon completing registration. This is a fee charged by the registration website.
In order to maximize the amount of money that can be donated, we will not have official race timing using chips, but we will have medals for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers for the following categories: Overall, Male, and Female. We hope that you will join us in supporting this great cause!
