RUN RICHMOND 16.19
Along our captivating courses you will encounter stunning historical sites and modern street murals, Black history course signs with educational video content, and well-placed food & water stops. Our free mobile app transforms your phone into an outdoor museum guide, narrated by two-time Oscar-nominated actor & humanitarian Djimon Hounsou.
This is a cultural community event for all ages and abilities. Choose between a 16.19K run or a 6.19K run/walk—no matter your pace, unless you are on crutches, you will make it to the finish line on time!
Run Richmond 16.19 culminates in a vibrant finish festival featuring live music, drum circles, a vendor village, a Black history pop-up exhibit, and a living museum experience—where young African American children bring historical figures to life. Bring your family, friends, and kids to this one-of-a-kind celebration of Unity in Diversity, Black culture, and community.
This event is organized by the Djimon Hounsou Foundation in collaboration with the Black History Museum & Cultural Center of Virginia, and more than 30 local and regional nonprofit partners. And yes—Djimon Hounsou will be attending in person!
