Immerse yourself in a 400-year journey of Black history as you take on the 16.19K Run—the signature distance of Run Richmond 16.19. From the rolling start to “The Hill We Climb”, every step carries the weight of history and the promise of progress. Run with purpose. Finish transformed.
RUN RICHMOND 16.19 is a cultural run-or-walk experience presented by the Djimon Hounsou Foundation, inviting participants to engage with 400+ years of Black history in Richmond, Virginia—in the very places where this history unfolded.
Runners and walkers can choose between two symbolic distances, 16.19K and 8K, and enhance their journey with a free, GPS-enabled educational audio guide narrated by two-time Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou, bringing our shared history to life along the route.
The Djimon Hounsou Foundation is organizing this moving event in close collaboration with the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia, Sports Backers, and 40+ community partners.

I was thrilled to have participated in the inaugural race. It was well put together for the first time. It was a race you want to stop and take it all in and dwell on the history of Richmond.
