The annual Conway Riverfest 5K returns on June 22nd, inviting runners to join a community tradition that began in 2013. The race starts at the charming Conway Green Park, where participants gather under the crisp pre-dawn skies and temperatures around -4°C. As dawn breaks, the sun's golden rays illuminate the verdant trails within the park. The 5K course takes runners through well-maintained paths lined with lush foliage. The terrain is firm yet slightly soft, offering a balanced challenge for both seasoned athletes and newcomers. There are no significant elevation changes, ensuring a smooth run from start to finish. At the halfway mark, participants pass by the central fountain area where water stations provide welcome refreshment. The race concludes at Conway Green Park with an inspiring finish line surrounded by enthusiastic spectators and volunteers. The park’s scenic beauty enhances every step of this community event, making it more than just a physical challenge but also a chance to support vital local services like food banks and emergency shelters through the Salvation Army's work.
