Run Richmond 16.19
Saturday, September 30, 8A-1P
Kanawha Plaza

The history of Richmond, Virginia – from the beginnings of the Transatlantic Slave Trade to the American Civil War and the toppling of the Confederate statues on Monument Avenue – encapsulates the history of the nation itself. It hence offers the ideal setting for RUN RICHMOND 16.19, the cultural running event that lets you experience +400 years of Black history – up close and personal.

Through our running/walking courses of 16.19K and 6.19K and a community-powered finish festival, we commemorate the sacrifices & achievements the African American community has made for our nation and celebrate Unity in Diversity. This event is organized by the Djimon Hounsou Foundation in close collaboration with the City of Richmond, the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia, and Sports Backers. Runners and walkers are welcome to participate.
