Southwest Cafe Margarita 5K is August 1, 2015! The sunset run with a margarita at the finish line! All to benefit Sunrise Cottage!
Ridgefield’s Southwest Cafe is preparing for their annual Margarita 5K Run. This popular event supports Sunrise Cottage, Ridgefield’s housing community for residents with disabilities. Ridgefielders of all ages are invited to run, but those 21 and over have an extra incentive: a free margarita at the finish line.
Becoming increasingly more popular each year, last year’s event reached a new high of 350 participants. For its 9th year, Southwest Cafe is excited for an even larger turnout. With greater attendance, they hope to raise more awareness and continue to give back to the community.
This year’s race will take place on Saturday, August 1st at 7:00 PM. Support local by registering today!
