  Rivian is excited to host our fourth annual 5k at Heartland Community College to benefit the Ecology Action Center and Friends of the Constitution Trail. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​At Rivian, Forever Starts Now. And while the products are designed to promote adventure forever, Rivian is dedicated to making a difference in the communities where they live and work. The Rivian Manufacturing team supports volunteerism as a way for teams to give back, get inspired, stay involved and make a positive impact today—both in the work done and the causes supported. Normal Pride extends beyond the walls of our facilities and into the communities where Rivian employees live and work It’s a partnership and Rivian is excited to see the communities grow, thrive and be part of the adventure.

  Receive a Rivian Commemorative Pin along with a plant from Reinhart Landscaping. Be surprised and delighted with our gifts as well. After the race; enjoy exploring some Rivian vehicles and light refreshments! The Reising Flower Truck will be on site for flower purchases.

  This event is taking place to support the Ecology Action Center and Friends of the Constitution Trail.

  Ecology Action Center - The mission of the Ecology Action Center is to inspire and assist our community in creating, strengthening, and preserving a healthy environment. The EAC acts as a central resource for environmental education, information, outreach, and technical assistance in McLean County, Illinois as the nonprofit environmental sustainability agency. Primary areas of focus include waste reduction and recycling, clean water protection, energy efficiency and renewable energy, and air quality improvement/greenhouse gas emissions reduction. https://ecologyactioncenter.org/

  Friends of the Constitution Trail - The Friends of the Constitution Trail is a non-profit advocacy group which works for expansion and beautification of the trail. Through membership support and donations, they sponsor trail amenities like drinking fountains, signs, benches, landscaping, and shelters. One of the major goals is for the trail system to stretch throughout Bloomington-Normal, reaching as many neighborhoods as possible using short connector paths, bike lanes, and other multi-use pathways. https://www.constitutiontrail.org/
