Event Description

Join the Riverside Community for a 5K bringing attention to and supporting the American Heart Association at the Race For Your Heart 5K and Fun Run!

"Did you know that around 700,000 people die from heart diseases in the U.S. every year? 18 million people die from heart attacks around the world each year, including my father, Chad Parello who passed away September 27, 2020. Cardiovascular diseases take the lead for the highest cause of death globally. If heart conditions are the leading cause of deaths around the globe they deserve further studies and attention. I am hosting this charity race to raise funding to support further studies for the American Heart Association."
