Megsmiles Memorial 5K
The Megsmiles Memorial 5K is an annual race in Richmond organized by the Meg's Miles charity to remember Meg Cross Menzies and the positive impact she and her family made. The event is presented as a memorial run that supports the charity's goal of encouraging healthier living through improved fitness, running or otherwise.
The race has been held for multiple years; the site references the 12th annual edition and notes a notably large turnout for the 2024 race. Local support has included the Richmond Road Runners Club, race organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and participants. Organizers have recorded race results and shared event photos online.
Meg's Miles also offers branded items such as shirts and hats through TSI Promotionals and highlights participation by its running group, Meg's Milers, in events such as the Berlin Marathon. The organization helped establish a Virginia specialty license plate featuring a silhouette of Meg and the Richmond skyline, presented as a lasting tribute and as a way to raise awareness about the dangers of drunk driving.
