SPRINT TO THE REGISTRATION PAGE the Margarita 5K is Saturday!
Get your running (or walking) shoes ready... Southwest Café is thrilled to be hosting the 8th Annual Margarita 5K on Saturday, August 2 at 7 p.m. This race will take you through some of the idyllic streets of Ridgefield and the post-run festivities will be held at Ridgefield's Southwest Café and on the green at the Marketplace at Copps Hill.
Barbara Nevins, owner of Ridgefield's Southwest Café, started the Margarita 5K eight years ago as a fundraiser for the Ridgefield Sunrise Cottage, Inc., a community-based resident group home for developmentally disabled adults. All the money raised at this year's race will be donated to this important local charity. And the local Sunrise Cottage residents will be participating too... cheering-on all the competitors in this year's Margarita 5K.
Need some motivation to register for this year's 5K? How about a free margarita (if you're 21 or older) at the finish line? Or free soft drinks for the minor crowd?
In addition to the free margaritas after the race, Southwest Café will be serving dinner and encourages runner and their guests to stick around and listen to some fun music while enjoying some good food. The local Marketplace merchants have also donated gift cards that will be raffled off following the race.
