Riverview Ramble set for Oct. 31 after council discussion of safety and coordination
Summary
Council heard from David James about the Riverview Ramble application for Saturday, Oct. 31 (Halloween). Organizers said last year’s event drew 150 runners from eight states and has donated $37,650 to local charities since 2021; council asked organizers to coordinate with the police chief and county for road safety.
David James told the Mount Carmel City Council that organizers are seeking permission to hold the Riverview Ramble on the last Saturday in October (Halloween). "Last year, we had 150 runners came to Mount Carmel to do this from eight different states," James said, and he noted that since 2021 the event has donated $37,650 to local charitable entities.
Council members and staff asked organizers to coordinate closely with the police chief and county officials to ensure road safety, since the course crosses municipal and county roads. The mayor and commissioners indicated support for repeating the event and emphasized the need for advance coordination with public safety and street crews.
Organizers will work with Chief Peach and Mr. Gidkum (county coordination mentioned in the discussion) on traffic and safety plans; no formal conditions or a written permit were recorded in the meeting minutes during the discussion.
