The Confluence Center of Colorado announced the inaugural Run for Rivers, a family-friendly fundraiser, will take place Nov. 8, 10 a.m., along the scenic Riverfront Trail in Grand Junction.

The event will feature a 5K run/walk, a 1K Fun Run for kids and activities, including a nature scavenger hunt and art project. All 5K participants will receive a commemorative T-shirt with registration.

“We are excited to host this fun, family-oriented event and give our community the opportunity to see our new facility,” said Jenn Moore, executive director of EUREKA! McConnell Science Museum. “This run is perfect for all levels and will be a great opportunity to spend some time on the beautiful trails by the river as the seasons change.”

The Run for Rivers will start and finish at the new Confluence Center of Colorado, 2596 Dos Rios Drive. The recently completed building is a hub for education, stewardship and collaboration around rivers, habitats and natural resources.

This is made possible thanks to the support of Shaw Construction, Grand Junction Sports Commission, One Riverfront, Mt. Garfield Wealth Management Group, RiversEdge West, Eureka! McConnell Science Museum, Camp Eddy and Amazon.
