The Southern Cultural Heritage Foundation (SCHF) is very excited to present the 37th Annual Over the River Run. The Foundation along with sponsors and volunteers present this very special community venture. This event welcomes hundreds to the City of Vicksburg and will serve as a wonderful family event. It will take place on Saturday, October 11th at 8:00am and begins at the Old Mississippi River Bridge located at I-20 and Washington Street.
This unique run follows a scenic course heading west across the Mississippi River to Delta, Louisiana and then returns back to the finish line. The event involves a 5-mile run, 5-mile walk and a one-mile fun run for kids. Complimentary musical entertainment, fun and refreshments for all runners, walkers and volunteers will follow the race in the Ameristar Delta Point parking lot. Registration is open now. Take advantage of early bird registration! The entry fees are $35 for the 5-mile race and $20 for the 1-mile fun run. After September 15th, entry fees will be $40 for the 5-mile race and $25 for the 1-mile fun run. Register early to receive your OVER THE RIVER RUN T-SHIRT! Early registration is strongly encouraged to secure a place at the event. Entry forms and complete event details are available by visiting www.southernculture.org/events/otrr.htm. Entry forms and fees can be dropped off at SCHF Business Office or mailed to SCHF, 1302 Adams Street, Vicksburg, MS 39180 or register online at www.RaceRoster.com.
