Annual River Run
From Piipash Village to Sivan Vahkih
November 21, 2009
4 am – 4 pm

This one-day run will take place starting from Piipash Village and end at Sivan Vahkih (Casa Grande Ruins in Coolidge). It is an individual spiritual run commemorating our Akimel, as well as the 1751 Pima Revolt. This is a non-competitive ultra run and there are no distance requirements; all runners decide how far they want to run. Volunteers, donations and support vehicles are needed. Runners: please contact Adrian or Darius to find out what you need to bring; supporters, what you can donate. A celebration with singing, dancing and food will be held after the run (around 5 pm, location TBA).
