Dominion Riverrock
May 15-16
Brown's Island
Dominion Riverrock, Richmond's newest event, blends music, sports,
interactive opportunities and environmental stewardship. The event was
announced at a news conference yesterday on Brown's Island by Richmond
Mayor Dwight C. Jones and Dominion Resources Chairman, President and
CEO Thomas F. Farrell II.
Billed as "Richmond's Riverlife Celebration," Dominion Riverrock begins
Friday, May 15, with a free performance by nationally acclaimed roots
music and world rock band Rusted Root.
Also included Friday, a Mud Run, a high-flying Big Air dog jumping
competition, and an acrobatic freestyle bike competition. Events
continue Saturday, May 16, when athletes from around the region square
off in high-adrenaline activities both in and around the river
including the James River Scramble trail run, mountain biking, kayaking
and more. With additional musical performances, dog and bike
competition, food, exhibits and more, Dominion Riverrock is sure to
make a splash as Richmond's premier river event.
The partnership team of Venture Richmond and the Sports Backers will
produce the event. This partnership brings two of our region's major
non-profit organizations together to combine their unique
qualifications to make this event successful. Dominion Riverrock is a
free event for spectators. Paid entry is required in competitor events.
Full event information, including schedules and registration for individual events can be found at www.sportsbackers.org.
