About the Run
The Ravenswood Run is a neighborhood tradition in its 12th
year. This 5K benefits local neighborhood charities and features
an updated flat and fast course in 2008. It's
perfect for a
PR or for
a relaxing, Sunday morning run. The
race is also part of the CARA Race Circuit, so come out and start
accumulating points early in the race season!
The Ravenswood Run is limited to a maximum of 3500 entrants.
Registration for the event will close once the limit has been reached. Limited race day registration will be available.
Race Charity
The proceeds from the Ravenswood Run benefit the Ravenswood Food
Pantry at All Saints' Episcopal Church and the Student Health Centers
at
Lakeview and Amundsen High Schools.
Food Drive and Additional Donations
Two ways you can help by participating in the food drive
and by making donations. Bring a can of food with you when you
register in-store or on race day. If you choose to make a monetary donation
you can do it online during registration, during packet pick-up
or on race day. Thanks for your extra efforts and support!
