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.We are a commemorative partner of VA250, the 250-year celebration of America, and the official race partner of BGR!’s Sweat With Your Sole National Conference.
