This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are first being mailed to shareholders on or about June 9, 2003. RECORD DATE; SOLICITATION OF PROXIES The board of directors of RRUN Ventures Network, Inc. has fixed the close of business on May 20, 2003 as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the annual meeting.

In addition to the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors through use of the mails, proxies may also be solicited by RRUN Ventures Network, Inc. and its directors, officers and employees (who will 5 receive no additional compensation therefor) by telephone, telegram, facsimile transmission or other electronic communication, and/or by personal interview. RRUN Ventures Network, Inc. will reimburse banks, brokerage houses, custodians and other fiduciaries who hold shares of common stock in their name or custody, or in the name of nominees for others, for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in forwarding copies of the proxy materials to those persons for whom they hold such shares.
