River Run Race Coordinator

The River Run is the Jensen Community Center’s primary fundraising event for the Center itself and the many programs and events we produce throughout the year.

As last year, we are offering a two-mile course and a five-mile timed course as well as a Falcon Fun Run for kids from 5 to 10 years old, which means that there’s a distance for everyone! This is a great way to help support the Center by getting out on a beautiful fall day to take a walk through our community with others. Not only do you get to be a part of the fun day, but you also get a long-sleeve t-shirt, a can of River Run beer, and the chance to purchase the coveted Central Waters Black Gold.

This year, we’ll have facepainting, music by our favorite deejay AJ Zanella, food for purchase from the Amherst High School Spanish Club, and on-site chair massages by Samantha Diver.

If you utilized the Jensen Center in any way in the past year, consider signing up to show your support for the facility. We would love to see as many local smiling faces as possible! To register for the event, visit runsignup.com/Race/WI/Amherst/JensenCenterRiverRun. Then, pass the link along to your friends, and challenge them to do the same. Thank you so much for your support!

The Falcon Fun Run, for ages 5 to 10, is held shortly before the River Run’s five-mile and two-mile events begin.
