Hale & Hearty 7K Offers Runner Benefits that Connect to Riverside's Local Economy
While Hale & Hearty 7K-RIVERSIDE/AVONDALE is a fundraising event for the Health Planning Council, we want to honor the Riverside local economy by increasing the exposure and customer foot traffic to Riverside's retail, museums, arts, restaurants, outdoor markets, etc while providing a benefit to runners. Each race participant upon registration will voluntarily submit their cell phone number into a text messaging system, which will be automatically linked electronically to the runner's time chip. After the runner passes mile markers placed throughout the race course, they will receive a text message rewarding them with a randomly selected coupon for one of the local Riverside establishments or vendors. Each registered runner will receive up to four (4) coupons during the race.

If you have your own chip, you need to enter your chip number on the entry form, and deduct $2.00 from the entry fee. You can pick up your timing chip the morning of the race. You must cross the timing mats to be included in the results. Do not wear your personal chip if you sign up on race day!
1 Mile Fun Run
Immediately following the 7K race, children (13 & under) will enjoy running in a 1 Mile Fun Run starting under the Fuller Warren Bridge at the Riverside Arts Market. They will run down the scenic RiverWalk along the St. Johns River toward the Jacksonville Landing. The runners will turn around and finish the race under the Fuller Warren Bridge at the Riverside Arts Market.
The course
Hale & Hearty 7K-RIVERSIDE/AVONDALE will start at the Riverside Arts Market with an 8:00 AM start. The course will take runners through two of Riverside's most popular and frequented parks, Memorial Park and Riverside Park. Runners will also be able to enjoy the sights and sounds of Historic Five Points and its connected blocks of shopping, retail, and housing located on Oak Street. Runners will also be able to wave to the visitors and employees of the Cummer Museum, the Garden Club and the row of large corporate companies located on Riverside Avenue. The last portion of the 7K course will lead the runners down Jackson Street and onto the redeveloped RiverWalk where runners will finish the race with beautiful views of the St. Johns River, the Downtown skyline, and three of the seven Jacksonville bridges. The Hale & Hearty 7K-RIVERSIDE/AVONDALE will finish at the Riverside Arts Market under the Fuller Warren Bridge.
