Guardian Revival 5K

THE summer race with the best way to cool down, a margarita of course!

Barbara Nevins and Southwest Cafe present the 20th annual Southwest Cafe Margarita 5k to benefit Ability Beyond. The yummy margarita you know and love will be waiting for you at the post-race fiesta! Race begins at 7pm!

The Southwest Cafe Margarita 5K continues to support Ability Beyond, an organization dedicated to empowering every person, no matter their ability, to live, work and thrive as members of their community. The non-profit currently runs two residential programs in Ridgefield: Sunrise Cottage and Ritch Drive. Click on the "donation" button to find out more about Ability Beyond.

Run or walk this 5K to support Ann's Place then kick back and enjoy one of Connecticut’s best post-race parties! Unwind and enjoy an outdoor barbecue, ice cold beer, refreshments, DJ and an awards ceremony. Bring your favorite picnic blanket or folding chair and enjoy the beautiful grounds of the Amber Room for the after-race celebration.

This is an important fundraiser for Ann’s Place cancer support services. All proceeds go directly to Ann’s Place and help keep our doors open and our cancer support services FREE of charge to all those in need in our community. www.annsplace.org

It’s easy and fun to fundraise! Create your own fundraising page or create a team page. Have some team building with your colleagues or friends or set your own personal goals. Waterworks, our presenting sponsor has friendly competitions between teams and have worn costumes to encourage donations. Other teams have created custom shirts and/or raised money in honor of someone, so many great ideas! We can't wait to see what everyone comes up with this year!

Join us on Sunday, August 23rd at 9am!

Run 6.5 miles of challenging trails in the Westmoreland Sanctuary

The race starts and finishes at the Fox Lane H.S. Campus (at the back of the campus behind the Middle School gym).

See if you have the intestinal fortitude to conquer RAPTOR RIDGE!

Westmoreland Sanctuary is a not-for-profit, independent nature center and wildlife preserve located in Westchester County, New York. The land spans three towns: Bedford, Mount Kisco, and Armonk.

We also need to thank the Fox Lane Sports Booster Club for all their help in allowing us to use the beautiful campus for our race headquarters and for the ever important parking!

We will also be collecting food for the Mt. Kisco Food Pantry. If you would like to personally donate food, please bring non-perishable items that are within the expiration date.
