Friday, May 15, 6:00 p.m.*

*Runners will be started in 3 waves of up to 250, based on each participant's estimated finish time. The wave breakdowns will be determined once registration is closed.

All participants must check in prior to the race, beginning at 4 p.m.

Directions:  Take I-95 Exit 74-A onto the Downtown Expressway.  Take first exit on Canal Street heading West.  Make a left onto 5th Street South and take it to the riverfront. 

Parking update: Due to construction of the new MeadWestvaco headquarters on the site of the former Federal Reserve parking lot, the recommended parking location is in the deck of the "Riverside on the James" complex. To access the deck, come south on 10th street and cross the vehicle bridge across the canal into the complex. There is a $5 charge for the deck.

Please note that Tredegar Street between 5th & 7th Streets is closed due to construction. Please do not come down 5th Street to Tredegar Street as access is limited and there is nowhere to make a U-turn. You will only cause traffic backups.

Hosted by Venture Richmond and the Sports Backers - A benefit for the James River Fund.

Includes:  t-shirt, awesome course, recovery food and free concert headlined by Rusted Root.
