Running: Richmond runners build weeks around the James River Park System. Buttermilk Trail and North Bank Trail keep your brain engaged because the footing demands it. The James River Loop gives locals 8 to 13 miles when they want the signature RVA run. Monument Avenue gives road legs about 5K out and back through the Historic District. Virginia Capital Trail runs 52 paved miles from Shockoe Bottom to Jamestown Settlement. MIDLO MAFIA, Fan Foxes, RVA Rogue Runners, Richmond Trail Runners, Black Girls Run, and Deep Run parkrun keep the calendar full. Virginia Credit Union River City Half & River City 5k and Richmond Turkey Trot 5K anchor the year.

RABA puts at least one organized ride on the calendar every day of the year.
