River City Gears Up for the Exciting 5 Miler Charity Race!

Mark your calendars, River City residents! On the sunny morning of August 2, 2025, a fantastic event is set to kick off in our community, bringing together runners, supporters, and a great cause! The River City 5 Miler charity race will be held at the beautiful Harris Riverfront Park in Huntington, and it’s shaping up to be an event you won’t want to miss.

Running for a Good Cause

This exhilarating race isn’t just about hitting the pavement; it’s also a chance to give back. Organized to benefit the Huntington High School cross country program, the proceeds from this race will also support the Facing Hunger Foodbank. So, whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking to support a great cause, your participation makes a difference!

Let’s Talk Weather!

Before you lace up those running shoes, let’s take a peek at the weather! While we are about a week away from the race festivities, it’s a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast leading up to the big day. For July 29, 2025, you can expect a mix of slightly cloudy skies turning into more cloud coverage by the afternoon. There’s a possibility of a stray shower or thunderstorm, so it’s wise to be prepared!

On that day, temperatures are expected to soar to a high of 88°F, with light, variable winds adding a gentle breeze. As the sun sets, the temperature is expected to dip to around 72°F, maintaining that same calming wind. It’s always smart to stay hydrated and cool, especially with a heat advisory in effect!

What’s Coming Up This Week

As we head into the week of the charity race, the temperatures are only getting hotter! Tomorrow, expect a beautiful day with mostly sunny conditions reaching up to a sizzling 97°F. Don’t forget, the heat index might make it feel even warmer, possibly around 102°F, so come prepared with plenty of water and sunscreen.

To add to the mix, there’s a potential for a few isolated thunderstorms on Wednesday evening as a cold front moves through. It might just cool things down a bit in the days following, with Thursday showing promise of temperatures close to 90°F along with chances of showers or even thunderstorms.

Friday, however, looks like a welcomed change as it cools down to a high near 81°F, setting the stage for more pleasant weather. While showers and cloudy conditions are likely, the weekend promises primarily sunny skies with temperatures hanging out in the low 80s and reduced humidity for everyone to enjoy outside. Perfect timing for the big race!

Don’t Forget to Support Your Community!

As we gear up for the River City 5 Miler charity race, remember that participation is key! Whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, every little bit helps to support the young athletes of the Huntington High School cross country program and the Facing Hunger Foodbank.

So, dust off those running shoes, bring your family, and let’s make this event a memorable one for our community! With fun, fitness, and a fantastic cause, it’s bound to be a great morning. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to the date, and let’s make River City proud!
