Virginia Credit Union River City Half & River City 5k

The Virginia Credit Union River City Half & 5K invites runners to celebrate Richmond, Virginia, as spring awakens. This race, now in its third year with a growing field, typically sees around 3,500 finishers, with about 27% returning year after year. Runners journey from approximately 25 states, drawn to a course that winds along the James River and through established neighborhoods, offering glimpses of nature's early spring beauty.

The course, primarily on paved roads, is designed for speed, with a net elevation drop and minimal gain, making it a potential personal best course. Participants will experience the city's charm and outdoor spaces, including areas like Pony Pasture, all while supporting a local nonprofit's mission to foster a vibrant community. The event offers a chance to achieve personal goals while enjoying the scenic and welcoming environment of Richmond.
