Beat the Heat with the James River Runoff Rundown

This Saturday, July 10th, 2010, volunteers will take part in the Third Annual James River Runoff Rundown to benefit the James River Association, a Richmond-based non-profit conservation organization whose mission is to safeguard the James River from the headwaters to the Bay.

Whether your contribution is a lazy two-mile float at Scottsville, an intense whitewater kayak through downtown Richmond, a fishing trip with your friends in a skiff below the Enon bridge or a sunset cruise to the Chesapeake Bay, everyone is encouraged to participate in the 2010 JRA Runoff Rundown.

The idea of the Rundown is simple. River enthusiasts from across the Commonwealth will paddle, boat, tube, sail or otherwise cover small sections of the James River such that, taken in concert, the entire length of the James River – all 340-miles – will be traversed in one day. Friends and family can show their support for the JRA and individual Runners by pledging support at the Runoff Rundown website (www.runoffrundown.org).

This is a great opportunity to get out on the river with friend. If you have not registered yet, please do so now! www.runoffrundown.org. Free t-shirt with registration!

Thank you for your support of the James River!
