October 26, 2025
For the past 16 years, the Regency Mile (and 5&Under 400m Express Run) is the largest timed youth road race in Richmond with both in-person and virtual race options. In addition to providing a fun family day of racing, the proceeds of this event go directly to producing free fitness programs in Richmond’s lowest-opportunity neighborhoods and $2,000+ will be donated to local school’s physical education departments. We will again have a fun, fall festival following this year’s race.

Race Overview
The Regency Mile carries on the long-standing tradition of its predecessor, the Short Pump Mile. The course is entirely closed to traffic and encircles Regency Square Mall. This year, we have a kid’s mile, parent’s mile, and a 400m race for ages 5 & under.
Date & Location
The 2025 Regency Mile is October 26, 2025 at Regency Square Mall (8711 Quioccasin Rd, Henrico, VA 23229).

Awards
The top five overall male and female runners will receive Dick’s Sporting Goods gift certificates (1st $100, 2nd $70, 3rd $50, 4th $30, 5th $20). Plus, we will have a new elite wave that will use an equalizer format with the men being sent shortly after the women with the first person to cross the finish line winning new running shoes from PR Run & Walk by Keira D’Amato (up to $300 value)!! To win the shoes, you must be entered in the elite wave though overall winners can come from any wave based on time. Additionally age group awards will be given to the top 10 finishers in each age group (see heats) as well as a nonbinary category. Race day age is determined by your age on race day. There are no awards for the 5 & under 400m Express Run as it is untimed with a focus on participation though 5 & under participants can compete for an award in the mile race instead.. Everyone gets a medal when they cross the finish line!
Fun Fall Festival
After the race, make sure to stick around and enjoy our Fall Festival complete with candy, games, and more.

Sponsorship Opportunities
The Regency Mile, formerly the Short Pump Mile, is the largest timed youth road race in Richmond, attracting over 600 runners every year. Now in its 17th year, this event promotes fitness, school pride, family fun, and community involvement.
Our partnering sponsors help make the Regency Mile a special event and also an affordable one for many families. By sponsoring the event, your business or organization helps area children learn how fun running can be and supports community outreach, all while underwriting costs of the event. Additionally, 100% of proceeds benefit local kids through the Live Red Foundation’s free community fitness programs and $2,000 will be donated back to local schools’ physical education departments.
To make this possible, we need your help. We have various levels of sponsorship available and would love to discuss the options with you. Please contact Michael Harlow at [email protected] for more information.
