Overview

Join us for the Virginia Credit Union River City Half & River City 5K, where you’ll celebrate Richmond beyond its downtown streets. Experience the awakening of nature and the early signs of spring as you run alongside the James River, through established neighborhoods, and outdoor havens like Pony Pasture. Start and finish on the picturesque campus of the University of Richmond, supporting Sports Backers’ mission of community enrichment. The half marathon course traverses the university’s scenic campus, crosses the Huguenot Bridge, and offers breathtaking views of the James River and iconic landmarks. For the 5K, enjoy a route through the university and along River Road, highlighted by a scenic out-and-back on the Huguenot Bridge.
