2012 San Diego River Run
Saturday, April 14, 2012 - Town Center Community Park East, Santee
Join Lakeside's River Park Conservancy for the 5th Annual "San Diego River 5k Run & Walk" on Saturday, April 14, 2012 at 8am. This family-friendly race highlights a different San Diego River Trail each year. The 2012 course is a beautiful route that showcases the diversity of the San Diego River and highlights Santee's recreational amenities. The event starts at the Town Center Community Park East in Santee, continues to Mast Park and loops back through the Trolley Center.
Your support will help preserve and restore the San Diego River. We hope to raise $25,000 for the River Park which will help us get closer to our overall goal of being part of the 52-mile San Diego River Trail that will one day run from the mountains of Julian to the sea at Ocean Beach.
For more information, email runfortheriver@gmail.com or call 619-443-4770.
We hope to see you at the starting line!
