7:00 am – Capitol City River Dash, Capitol View Park, More info http://capitolcityriverdash.com/

The 3rd Annual Capitol City River Dash will be held September 27th, 2014 at Capitol View Park in scenic downtown Frankfort Ky.  The 150 acre park is bound by the Kentucky River & provides the ideal setting for this extreme 5K event.   The Kentucky River, numerous creeks, deep ravines, woods, and rapid elevation changes are only a few of the natural elements in the area that will make Capitol View Park home to the ultimate 5k race. 

Proceeds from the Capitol City River Dash will go to our host & sponsor Sparrow Missions.  Sparrow Missions is an inter-denominational non-profit mission organization for individuals and groups of all ages. We believe strongly in creating unity within the Body of Christ. Our heart is to mobilize Christians and equip them to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission, minister to the human need, and live out God’s will for their lives. We strive to motivate believers to pursue Jesus Christ and take His life-giving message to the ends of the earth!  Sparrow Missions is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
