2011 Ramble for the RosesGreetings!   

 

Better weather is on the way - we can feel it!  And what better way to take advantage of clear skies than by walking with us at the 26th Ramble for the Roses on Tuesday, May, 3!

 

This 5K walk is a great health-conscious, family-friendly event that is one of the longest continually-running Derby Festival events in Louisville.  The trail runs around the base of beautiful Iroquois Park, with two water stops along the way.

 

New mayor Greg Fischer and other dignitaries will be on hand to help us kick off the walk.  Register now and receive an official long-sleeved Ramble T-shirt as well as a voucher for free ice cream or fruit at the Ramble Mini-Festival.

 

Register on-line now or get more information by visiting our Ramble web page.  Special thanks to our sponsors: Zoeller Pump Company, Metro Councilmembers Blackwell, Butler, Johnson and Welch, Republic Bank, Jimbo's Bar-B-Que and Sister Bean's Coffee House.
