Run/Walk Club on Richmond's North Side! Meets on Monday evenings at 5:30 at Yaupon Place Park. Meetups are dedicated to Richmond area non-profits and members donate as they are able.
Every month we dedicate our weekly meetups to a local non-profit; this month we are supporting The Light House RVA. The Light House RVA supports women in recovery from addiction by creating a safe community with the resources they need to succeed. As always, this is a completely voluntary donation as you are willing and able. Thank you and see you Monday evening at 5:30 PM Yaupon Place!
This month we are supporting Little Hands Virginia, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides “essentials and a little extra love to children newborn to three years old in need in Central Virginia”
As always, please give as you are willing and able. See you on the track!
Supporting Northside Coalition for Children this month!
Hey runners! Share your love for Project:Homes this month, a local non-profit whose goal it is to “ensure that every Central Virginian has access to affordable housing that is safe, energy efficient, and affordable”. Totally voluntary as always. See you at the track Monday evening! -MK

Unpopular opinion, but I don’t hate daylight savings. It’s light enough at 5:20 that we can meet up, run/walk/jog for an hour, and get home before sunset! After this winter, I’ll take that as a win. We had 13 people join us this evening for our first meetup since October, so I can’t be the only one celebrating the sun!
This month we’re supporting United Way of Richmond and Petersburg, whose program WomenRise provides financial assistance to help single moms cover the cost of childcare while they pursue a post-secondary degree or credential. As always, donating is completely optional/as you are able.
Cheers and see you on Monday!

This month Run for Richmond is supporting Shalom Farms, a nonprofit farm and food justice organization working for an equitable food system in Richmond, VA.
Each month we choose a Richmond-area non-profit to support. Participants can choose an amount that works for them and dedicate their runs by donating each time they come out and get their run in! Fun fact – Yaupon Place is located right next to their fields so you can see them in action!
See you Monday!
We are changing the day of our meetups from Tuesday evenings to Monday evenings to better accommodate members. Still 5:15, still Yaupon Place!
As a reminder, for the month of September we are supporting the League of Women Voters. You can donate to them here.
This month Run for Richmond is supporting the League of Women Voters (Virginia Chapter). Each run/walk will be dedicated to this important organization that supports women in so many ways. Thanks for contributing, and see you Tuesday at Yaupon Place!
