RICHMOND, Va. -- Thousands of runners and walkers took part in the 2025 Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k presented by Kroger as the "biggest block party ever" celebrated 26 years on Saturday.
"The 10k has welcomed over half a million participants since its debut in 2000," organizers with Sports Backers said. "Last year’s event drew 24,000 runners and walkers, further cementing the 10k’s reputation as a beloved Richmond tradition. With over 90% of participants hailing from the Richmond region, the race is a true community celebration. Support from residents along Monument Avenue adds a festive and welcoming atmosphere year after year."
