Run for Rwanda
"Two Continents, One Finish Line"
International 5k Run/Walk
Saturday, August 1, 2009
Cottonwood Creek Park, Colorado Springs, CO
Kibali, Rwanda (Central Africa)
Come join in the 2009 Run For Rwanda, a 5k run/walk (and a free1k fun run for kids 10 and under). The event brings together runners on two continents for the challenge and fun of an outstanding 5K race and the opportunity to help loosen the grip of poverty on a needy African community. All proceeds help fund a much-needed health clinic and other development programs in Kibali, Rwanda.
The inaugural race in 2008 drew more than 370 participants in Colorado Springs and 60 official runners for the simultaneous race in Kibali. Together, we raised more than $18,000 for the people of Kibali.
We look forward to another memorable event. Please follow the links at the top of the page to register or learn more about the event. See you at the starting line!
