Wegmans Turkey Trot 10K is FULL

You can still enjoy the race (without running it) by volunteering!

We really need some more course marshals.

(and you get a race shirt)

 

Spaces are still available for the Kids Run.

Join Richmond Road Runners Club and the race's sponsor Wegmans on Thanksgiving morning for the 42^nd running of Richmond's Turkey Trot 10K. You can enjoy either a challenging 10K road race or a fun (but still hilly) easy run around the University of Richmond and its neighborhoods. There is also a free kids run. 

This running-in-Richmond tradition regularly sells out its limit of 1,600 participants.

Plan ahead for those winter long runs!

Thinking about your winter training? Join the Richmond Road Runners Club's Winter Intermediate Marathon and Half Marathon Training! Richmond's premier winter training program offers training for:

• Virginia Beach's Yuengling Shamrock Marathon and Anthem Shamrock Half Marathon run on March 22, 2020
• The Boston Marathon run on April 20, 2020
• Any marathon, half marathon, or other race that you're running in Spring 2020
• Runners who want to get in their weekly long run with a group that will be out there Saturday mornings...in good weather and in snow, rain, and cold

The Shamrock Training starts on Saturday, December 7 and the Boston Marathon Training begins on Saturday, January 4. All training runs will start from the Lucky Road Run Shop: meet at 7:15 AM, start the long run at 7:30 AM.
