Join the MUDDY RIVER RUN !

Muddy River Run Event 2009
10 & 5K Run, Walk and Urban Pole

VON Chatham-Kent is excited to announce an event that will get the whole community up and moving!

The Muddy River Run event includes a 10K and 5K Run, Walk or Urban Pole. All funds raised from this event will remain in the area serving the citizens of Chatham-Kent. Participant’s entry fee and monies raised will be split with 75% of funds raised going to VON programs and 25% will go the participant’s registered, non-profit charity of choice.

VON would be grateful if you helped promote a healthier community by being part of our Muddy River Run Event. By coming on board as a participant, by spreading the word or by sponsoring a participant in the Muddy River Run, you will show the residents of Chatham-Kent that you care about their health and well being. Based on feedback regarding this inaugural event we are hoping to make it an annual event. With your support we can educate our citizens on the benefits of physical activity.
