Richmond’s Run for Darfur is a 5k race on Memorial Day, May 28th, 2007. There will be a 1k children’s race at 9am followed by the 5k at 9:15 or 9:30. The Jewish Community Center will open its facilities to the public and there will be a movie screening and other indoor activities. This event is being planned by Michael Wilson and Peyton Thompson, both juniors in college who have a great interest in bringing an end to the genocide in Darfur. They are working alongside the Richmond Roadrunner Association. All the proceeds from this run will go directly to Save Darfur.

Additional information can be found at runriderace.com and http://geistweg.wordpress.com.

I found out about the run on the Savedarfur.org website. I have encouraged my kids and a few co-workers to run as well.
