The Venue

The race will be held at the Chesterfield County Fairgrounds located at 10300 Courthouse Rd, Chesterfield, VA 23832.

5k & 1 Mile Run/Walk

All ages will be able to enter the 5k run/walk, and we will have a 1 mile race for kids 15 years old and younger.

Chesterfield Earth Day Festival

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Chesterfield County Fairgrounds, the Chesterfield Earth Day Festival will bring together county departments, businesses, nonprofits and residents in a celebration of safeguarding our natural resources. The Chesterfield Earth Day Festival will include entertainment, food trucks and outdoor activities, as well as demonstrations from Parks and Recreation and Cooperative Extension.

Race Course

The Earth Day 5k & Kid’s Mile courses are flat and fast. The 5k starts and finishes with a loop of the Fairgrounds followed by an out and back loop along a beautiful paved bike/walk trail before completing another loop of the fairgrounds and crossing the finish line. The Kid’s Mile is simply one loop of the Fairgrounds which is super spectator-friendly.
