About this race
Virginia Credit Union River City Half & 5k gives you a chance to celebrate Richmond beyond the downtown city streets. Watch nature wake from its winter slumber and take in the early signs of spring in Virginia as you run over and along the James River, through well-established neighborhoods and outdoor gems like Pony Pasture. Then cross the finish line inside the University of Richmond's Robins Stadium, taking your final steps on the track as the crowd cheers you on. You'll not only accomplish a personal goal but will also support Sports Backers' nonprofit goal of building a vibrant community. Don't miss this breathtaking course!
