1st Annual Runoff Rundown announced for July
On July 12, 2008, the James River Association (JRA) will host the first annual Runoff Rundown, a one-day event celebrating America’s Founding River. The goal is for teams and individuals to collectively travel the entire 340 miles the James River, from the headwaters at Iron Gate to the mouth at the Chesapeake Bay. Sign up for your piece - a lazy two-mile float at Scottsville, an intense whitewater kayak through downtown Richmond, a fishing trip with your friends on the flats below the Enon bridge or a sunset cruise to the Chesapeake Bay… Everyone is encouraged to be creative in their support of the first annual James River Association Runoff Rundown.

talking about the James River
The future of the James River in today’s RTD is a great overview of the issues that will be part of Monday night’s RTD Public Square on the James River. The discussion of “the single greatest physical asset that we have in the Richmond metropolitan area” will certainly touch on the balance between private and public interests, public access to the river, the preservation of natural areas, the impact of private development, and what role the local government should play.
