Earth Day 5K Race Without a Trace

This environmentally-friendly, family- fun focused race shows off the best the city has to offer. Run, walk, or stroll down the newly completed Virginia Capital Trail and see the beauty of the James River and its downtown surroundings. Learn easy ways to help the environment along the course and finish just half a mile from the RVA Earth Day Festival, where you can enjoy live music, vendors, food, drink, educational information, and activities. Let us show you what the riverfront is all about! Families, children, strollers (no wider than 41 inches) and well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome.
