The Riverview 1 Mile is a great way to celebrate the arrival of the fall season in scenic Riverview while supporting a worthy cause. The event will take participants through the picturesque Riverview and Granby corridor with Riverview Rally block party immediately follwoing.

Did you know Mettle Events gives 100% of the net proceeds to the selected charity partner? That is correct! 100% of the net proceeds always go to the charity! This is why volunteer support is so important to the events we do.

All volunteers who come out and support the Riverview 1 Mile will receive appreciation, and thanks from the charity partners, all the athletes, an Official T-Shirt, a Goodie Bag, One Free Admission to Post-Race Party, and can opt to receive a personalized letter documenting their community service hours.

Therefore, if you, or someone you know (groups welcomed) need community service hours, please consider volunteering for one, or all, of our events. We have other volunteer opportunities throughout the year where we could use your help! If you are interested in finding out more about our other opportunities, please send an email to nancy@mettleevents.com.
