An adventure footrace will wind through downtown Richmond on May 13 to celebrate LIVESTRONG Day 2008.

Ravenchase Adventures and BlackFinn Restaurant & Saloon are hosting one of 500 events nationwide to support cancer survivors.

The adventure race will begin at 4 p.m. at the Bell Tower, 10th and Cary streets. An awareness event will be from 7 to 9 p.m. at BlackFinn Restaurant & Saloon, 1001 Haxall Point, Suite 100.

Participants will decode a treasure map, solve clues, anagrams and puzzles while helping to support the fight against cancer. Organized by Ravenchase Adventures, the race will have participants walk to where the clues take them, including historic sites, parks and more.

The adventure race and awareness event will support LIVESTRONG Day, the Lance Armstrong Foundation's one-day initiative to unite people affected by cancer and to raise awareness and funds for the cancer fight.

Founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, the LAF has raised more than $250 million for cancer research.
