Join us this Saturday, September 30, for Run Richmond 16:19!

The history of Richmond, Virginia – from the beginnings of the Transatlantic Slave Trade to the American Civil War and the toppling of the Confederate statues on Monument Avenue – encapsulates the history of the nation itself. It hence offers the ideal setting for Run Richmond 16.19, the cultural running event that lets you experience +400 years of Black history – up close and personal.

The event features running/walking courses of 16.19K and 6.19K and a community-powered finish festival, we commemorate the sacrifices & achievements the African American community has made for our nation and celebrate Unity in Diversity. 

This event is organized by the Djimon Hounsou Foundation (dhf_org) in close collaboration with the City of Richmond (rvagov),the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia(bhmva), and Sports Backers (sportsbackers). BLK RVA is a proud Community Partner.

Runners and walkers are welcome to participate.
