About the race
The Richmond Fireworks event is a road race held at Stone Brewing and along the Virginia Capital Trail with views of the James River. The course follows the trail near Rocketts Landing and has nearby parking with a latitude/longitude pin provided by the organizers.
Distances:
- 5 km
- 10 km (two laps of the 5 km out-and-back)
The course is paved; race materials describe both flat sections and some hilly segments. Water is available at the turnaround points and along the 10 km course at approximately mile markers 1.55, 3.1, and 4.65. Restroom facilities (port-a-johns) are located in the parking lot near the start and finish area.
The event is chip timed. Registered runners receive a finisher medal and a technical event shirt, with shirt sizes guaranteed for registrations before the stated deadline. Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to first and second place in specified age groups. Live results are posted on a timing site and a QR code at the race provides immediate result access; final results with series points are posted the Monday after the event.
Points from the event count toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k, and Back of the Pack series, and toward the Summer Series. A virtual race option is available. The race benefits the Virginia Capital Trail Foundation. Packet pickup and race day registration are available at the venue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
