The HIV Alliance’s 19th-annual River Walk and Run will be held Saturday at Alton Baker Park. This community outreach and fundraising event will include free breakfast, live music and prizes in the hopes of bringing people together to raise AIDS awareness and to support
alliance activities.
The Shamwari marimba ensemble will perform on stage at 9 a.m., followed by Divisi, a women’s University group that took second place in the a cappella international finals this year.
The 5k run will begin at 9 a.m., with registration from 8 a.m. to
8:45 a.m. To pre-register, visit www.hivalliance.org. The $25 race entry fee includes a T-shirt, bracelet and water bottle. The walk is free and will begin at 10:30 a.m. Activities will be followed with awards and prizes. All proceeds will help sustain the HIV Alliance, a community-based health organization dedicated to supporting those with
AIDS and preventing others from contracting HIV.
The run and walk will start by the picnic pavilion and follow a course lined with live music, including Samba Ja, a harpist and a Hawaiian slack-key guitarist.
