Run Richmond 16.19 invites everyone to get moving while learning about and uplifting African American history.
Starting and finishing at Kanawha Plaza on Sept. 27, participants can run a 16.19-kilometer course (embarking at 8 a.m.) or run or walk along a 6.19-kilometer route (embarking at 8:45 a.m.). Both races pass historical sites and locations such as the Emancipation and Freedom Monument, Tredegar Iron Works and various street art throughout the city. A post-race festival will feature live music, vendors and a pop-up history exhibit.
Registration prices start at $57.50. Entrants also receive free admission to The Valentine, valid during race weekend.
