I have been a volunteer for the Little Miami River Kleeners in Dayton, Ohio for at least 8 years. This year we plan to introduce the public to the Little Miami River watershed not only with our river clean ups, water displays, and presentations, but through a mini-adventure race. We have a fun, educational, “kind-of” adventure race fundraiser planned on Sunday, Sept 23 for the Little Miami Watershed Network. Teams get to enjoy the Little Miami River corridor on foot, in canoes, and on bike while stopping at educational checkpoints to learn more about the river they love.
The Trailblazer Adventure will start and finish at Bellbrook Sugarcreek Park District Headquarters. Participants will wind their way through the parks to the Little Miami River, paddle for a short bit on the river, and then head back through parks and on country roads to the park headquarters. This event will take place rain or shine, but we are hoping for favorable weather. The Trailblazer Adventure is sponsored by James Investment Research and Greene Memorial Hospital.
Registration is still open until Wednesday, September 19. (https://athenaadventures.redpodium.com/lmwn-trailblazer-race-2018). Learn more about the event and the Little Miami River Kleeners/Little Miami Watershed Network here.
