Riverside 5K - Story City, Iowa - Running

The Riverside 5K is a Running race in Story City, Iowa consisting of a 5K and Kids Run/Fun Run.

This year (2020) will be the Eighth Annual Riverside 5K Run/Walk. Come support the ministry of Riverside, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and enjoy some great fellowship with other Riversidians! All of the registration fee goes directly towards supporting camperships for youth who want to come to Riverside, thanks to our wonderful sponsors. Check in and registration will be from 7:30 am - 8:15 am on August 1, with the race starting at 8:30 am. There will be a free children's fun run for all youth 10 and under following the 5k, as well as bagels, fruit, snacks, sports drinks, water, and an award ceremony for all of the 5k participants to enjoy. Then stick around for a dip in our state of the art pool! Showers are available in the pool house bathrooms, and everyone is invited to stick around for worship, lunch, and the quilt auction if you would like as well. We look forward to seeing you for all of the fun!

R5K Church Team Challenge!
Get ready for the Riverside 5K and the Church Team Challenge. This friendly competition will determine which church has the fastest runners, and ultimately who will take home the R5K Church's Cup! Last year's champion was Lutheran Church of Hope - Ames. Here's how it works. Get a group of people from your church who enjoy running (or walking) to be on a team. You may have as many runners on your team as you would like, and your top 3 overall finishers will count for your team's overall score, based on what place they get. The church team with the lowest score wins the cup! If you are not affiliated with a church, you can still put together a team (i.e. cross country teams, running groups, etc.). Last year's overall champions were from the Webster City cross country team! Your team will just not be eligible to win the trophy, but the individuals on the top two teams, regardless of being affiliated with a church or not, will also win medals. Indicate on your registration form which team you are running with. Start training, have fun, and get some runners from your church together to build community and take home the Cup! Will anyone be able to defeat the defending champs, Lutheran Church of Hope - Ames and Pastor Danny Housholder? Will Harvest Vineyard or Lutheran Church of Hope - Des Moines be in contention again? We shall see. If you have any questions, call the office at 515-733-5271 and ask for Cheri, or email her at Cheri@RiversideLBC.org. We look forward to continuing this friendly competition!
