(Sugar Land, TX – Aug. 15, 2011)              Registration has opened for Riverstone’s annual Heart and Sole 5K Run and Walk, set for Saturday, Oct. 15.

The event benefits Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels, which provides services to more than 1,000 seniors daily.

The race begins at 8 a.m., with racers following a certified course through Riverstone. Cost for the adult run/walk is $25 and kids’ run registration is $10. Register at http://www.active.com/running/missouri-city-tx/riverstone-heart-and-sole-5k-run-and-walk-2011.

Last year, approximately 200 people raced in Riverstone’s inaugural event, raising $4,000 for Second Mile Mission, another Fort Bend-based charity.

“We hope to top last year’s results with more runners and more money raised for a good cause,” said Riverstone’s lifestyle director Melanie Rushé, who is organizing the event.

Several sponsorships are still available for the event, including Ghostbusters, a $500 sponsorship; Spooktacular sponsors, $250; Boo-tiful sponsors, $150; R.I.P. (Really Important People), $100; and Sweet Treats, $50. Sponsors already on board are Texas Running Company and Elements Massage.
