This is an amazing race in the Richmond area! It draws a huge crowd but is very organized and well supported. The weather is usually great and the course is very flat. Will run again this year!
Good for first-timer
Can walk, jog, run during the event without pressure. Just complete the event at your own pace. Great for the whole family with kids. Will participate again next year. MORE

The energy of this run is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced! So much excitement and the sidelines are filled with all kinds of entertainment and encouragement. I ran my first Monument Ave 10K ten years ago and after having three babies within the last 6 years, I was able to shave 12 minutes off my time and PR! I fully credit the energy to my performance and I am so excited to add this race back in to my life every year. Couldn’t recommend this race enough!!!

This is one of the most fun local 10Ks you can run. The course is a flat out and back, so you can watch other parts of the race. There are bands and front porch parties along the way, and the post-race celebration is a big runner’s party!

I have done this race since 2013. I love that it is for a good cause in helping those with cancer. The race remains competitive, the spectators and volunteers’ energy helps keep me moving along. I like to see all the costumes and porch parties. I plan to continue doing this race each year.
First 10k was a great success!
This is a very beginner friendly 10k. I have never done anything like this before and I felt so supported. It was a very welcoming crowd. I’ll definitely be back … MORE

The Monument Ave 10K is a Richmond institution. I only recently started getting into running and this was my first race ever, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but it was well run by the organizers. It’s a totally flat, easy course down Monument with plenty of water stops, lots of people cheering, and some live music. You can go at any pace you like, and a lot of people walk it. Probably my biggest criticism is just how congested it was; I was weaving through people the entire 6 miles. I did a non-seeded jogging wave, so I’m sure if you are in a seeded wave that aspect is better.
With sign up I got a medal, t-shirt, and some light post race snacks (banana, granola bar, rolls). The price point for the race isn’t bad if you sign up early!
Great experience for my first 10K

If you’re just getting into running like myself, this is the race to start with! Nothing beats Richmond city! The Ukrops 10K had the right energy and environment to make the run SO enjoyable. I hope to continue running this 10K every year and hope to involve more of my family.
Straight Stretch with Support!

This is a super fun 10K with TONS of sideline support down the entire course! There isn’t a single tenth of a mile where supporters are not cheering you on. There’s even live music at many spots along the course. This is a well coordinated race with seeded starts due to the high number of participants. It’s amazing seeing how many runners show up to race. It’s relieving to start with others that run your pace. There are several water stops to help the runners stay hydrated or to cool off. ALL finishers receive a finisher’s medal to commemorate their achievement!
This was my first ever race in 2022 and I’ll keep coming back every year to run the RVA Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10K!

Love walking in the Ukrops Monument Avenue 10 K. It is extremely well run and high energy!
Since parking can be a problem downtown, we buy a reasonably priced parking ticket, at a VCU parking deck, online months in advance.

Nice flat course. Entertainment the whole way! I have done 5 races so far and this was hands down the most fun I’ve had at a race. There is a lot of participants, around 15k or more. A bit of a wait making your way to the start depending what seed you choose. Also, I suggest paying to park in a garage near by. Made life so much easier getting in and out of the city. I will be doing this race again.
Highly recommend; pleasantly surprised

I walked into the race thinking that it wasn’t something I’d enjoy. I thought that my solo running would be enough for my running hobby, but I thoroughly enjoyed the race. I enjoyed all the emails leading up to the race and the packet pick-up event was fun too. The elevation was minimal and it was a bigger crowd than I was expecting. Great race!
Great race, a lot of fun the entire way!

This is an amazing event for people of all ages. You can enjoy this race whether walking or running. The race atmosphere is one of a kind and people will cheer for you all the way up Monument Avenue. I just finished my 9th year as a participant and can’t wait for next years event.

Beautiful course and so much fun! Whole city comes out to support and participate. The medal is great, the course is very flat, and it’s down one of the prettiest streets in Richmond.

The swag was excellent; the t-shirt was nice quality and I liked this year’s medal.
The after party in Monroe park was fun and the snacks were welcome.

The organizers run a wonderful event, with plenty of volunteers, race course musicians and performers, fun elements like the dress up and run contest. It’s relatively flat, tho’ with the crowd, may not be a race for a PR.
