Run Richmond 16.19 - Run With Purpose Through History
Run Richmond 16.19 is a road running event in Richmond, Virginia, scheduled for September 12, 2026. The Djimon Hounsou Foundation organizes the event, which is a Commemorative Partner of Virginia 250 and the Official Race Partner of Black Girls Run’s Sweat With Your Sole National Conference.
Distances offered:
- 16.19K : 16.19 kilometers / 10.1 miles, the event's signature distance.
- 8K Run/Walk : 8.1 kilometers / 5.0 miles, suitable for walkers and families.
Both races start and finish at Abner Clay Park. The course features a rolling start and includes a segment described as "The Hill We Climb." The 16.19K is framed as an opportunity to reflect on more than 400 years of Black history; the 8K is presented as a shorter option to experience the same historical context. The event emphasizes unity in diversity and commemorates sacrifices and achievements in African American history.
Entry policies state that race entries are non-refundable. Participants may purchase registration protection from an insurance partner and may transfer entries for a $5 processing fee. Race distance changes are allowed when slots are available and may require payment of a fee or the difference in price. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
