This year the RTRU is sponsored by Cargill with assistance from the Arkansas River Coalition and the City of Wichita. Cargill will be providing participants with an event t-shirt and is inviting all the volunteers to a post-cleanup cookout back at the check-in station.
The event is also register with American Rivers as part of the “National River Cleanup” initiative. The National River Cleanup is providing the bags for the event.
Groups of volunteers – such as those associated with a business, school or university, club, church or scout group – may want to “adopt” one of clean-up sites for the event. If a group adopts a site, that group’s participants will all start in that location.
The locations are (beginning in the north):
-
The Sim Park Red Bridge
-
Exploration Place
-
1st and Waco
-
Gander Mountain
-
Lincoln Street bridge
-
Harry Street bridge
-
Pawnee Street bridge
-
Herman Hill Park
