FRIDAY, MAY 17 - 6:00 PMThe Miller Lite Filthy 5k Mud Run kicks off Dominion Riverrock with some down and dirty fun. It's not just a trail run with rugged terrain - as if the roots, rocks and uneven ground aren't tough enough! Be prepared to trudge through the James River, rock hop across the dry way and climb, crawl and leap over other natural obstacles along the course. There may be an ice cold beer awaiting you (if you're 21, of course), but first you have to crawl through a massive mud pit at the finish line! As if the Miller Lite Filthy 5k was not enough fun, now you can get your dog into the mud too! Sign up for the Ruffwear Dog Wave, a part of the Miller Lite Filthy 5k on May 17th, and bring your favorite canine through the trails, along the dry way, through the river and into the mud pit. What better way to spend a Friday night with man's best friend!

ABOUT DOMINION RIVERROCK
Dominion Riverrock, organized by Venture Richmond and the Sports Backers, is the nation's premier outdoor lifestyle festival, bringing athletes, spectators, musicians, and even dogs to Brown’s Island for a three-day festival against the backdrop of downtown Richmond’s urban riverfront. The festival features a variety of outdoor sports including trail running, kayaking, biking, bouldering, slacklining, stand up paddleboarding, and dog jumping. The event was designed to promote Richmond’s unique riverfront, downtown trails and whitewater rapids to outdoor enthusiasts. As a result of the creation of Dominion Riverrock, there is a stronger appreciation for the value of outdoor recreation throughout the entire Richmond region.
