Join the Junior League of Greater Fort Lauderdale as we run or walk along the New River and the historic neighborhood of Rio Vista during the 17th annual Riverwalk Run! This year's theme will be "80's for 80" encouraging runners and walkers to dress in 80's dress to celebrate the Junior League of Greater Fort Lauderdale's 80th anniversary. There will be prizes for best dressed runner, team and pet! Join us afterwards for a light brunch and kids acitivities. This amazing race experience supports the Junior League’s efforts to raise funds for important community causes such as Human Trafficking Awareness, Transiting Independent Living for Foster Care Adolescents, Childhood Fitness and Nutrition, and more!
