River Run Celebrates 10th Anniversary
|
Celebrating the 10th anniversary, we are proud to announce that River will continue to be the presenting sponsor of what will now be know as River Run - Maitland. This event has a classic location inbetween the River and main CBD of Maitland, with excellent spectator options to see and applaud runners as they pass on either side. With 21, 12,8,4, and Mile (1.6km) options, there is plenty of reason for runners from Maitland and the Hunter to look for a new PB on this mostly flat course. Click the River to see a video from last year's race.
