Race Overview

The RVA Mile has been Richmond’s fastest mile for the past 16 years and now you can race a 5k also.  The mile course is entirely closed to traffic and encircles Deep Run High School and finishes on the Deep Run track.  The 5k will leave Deep Run High School and run through Twin Hickory Park before finishing on the Deep Run track.  We also have a 400m fun run for ages 5 & under.
