It’s that time of year again, Shiver in the River is back. Join the community in a clean up, 5k walk/run, and a plunge into the James River.

Community Clean-Up (9-11 Am):

Shiver in the River will start with a clean-up along the banks of the James River. The clean-up is a positive hands-on educational opportunity for the RVA community as a whole and not only for those going in thewater, but for their families and friends who are supporting them at the event.

5k Walk/Run (12:00pm)

New this year the 5k will take you along the James River to take in the beautiful scenery while getting a bit of exercise.

The James River Jump (1:30pm):

The second portion of Shiver in the River is the James River Jump. This fundraising Jump will take place along the chilly banks of the James right by Historic Tredegar. Funds raised by participants will benefit Keep Virginia Beautiful. The jump will engage and educate Virginians about their impact on the environment and how important their participation is to the sustainability of our organization’s programs. You must raise a minimum of $75 to participate in the James River Jump.

There will also be a celebratory Winter Festival. Pre and Post James River Jump, the event hosts a celebratory festival to thank the sponsors, participants and volunteers who participated in the event. The winter festival will include heated tents, food and beverage vendors, music, and a fun environmental atmosphere.
