2023 Official Race Guide: Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k presented by Kroger

We’re so excited to kick off another spring on Monument Avenue! We look forward to RVA’s biggest block party every year! It’s hard to believe that this will be the 24th running of the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k presented by Kroger—with every passing year, we feel more grateful than the last to have had our community behind us for all these years.

Last year we welcomed the #Ukrops10k back to Monument for the first time since 2019 and our community went all out. We know Richmond likes to do things big, and this year won’t be any different! The excitement on race day is electric. Before the first runners cross the start line, you can feel a surge of energy in the air as people from all over the region head to Monument Avenue. From cheering spectators to friendly volunteers, the 10k Spirit Contest presented by The Richmond Experience, kids taking part in the Atlantic Union Bank 10k Mini, costumed runners, and more, it’s truly a special event that we’re so lucky to have in our own backyard. We’re overjoyed to be a part of it every year!

This event has become woven into the fabric of our community. For some, the #Ukrops10k marks the beginning of a lifelong love of active living, for others, it’s a chance to honor loved ones, raise money for cancer, join with friends, or find common ground with perfect strangers. Everyone has a reason this race is special to them, and we can’t wait for a whole new batch of participants to fall in love with the 10k this year!

Whether this is your first #Ukrops10k or your 24th (yes, we really do have people that have done it every year), we hope you enjoy reaching the finish line!

Event Charity

Kids Run RVA, a program of Sports Backers, is committed to improving the health of all Richmond area youth by encouraging routine physical activity. We do this by supporting school and community based kids running clubs and the coaches who lead those clubs.

As an official charity of the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k, donations to Kids Run RVA help us to provide free training opportunities for youth of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds as well as funding to support school-based run clubs and events. For schools with fewer resources, Kids Run RVA grants can additionally cover transportation and entry fees to Sports Backers events—like the Atlantic Union Bank 10k Mini—which serve as celebrations of the students’ discipline and hard work.

We invite each of you to learn more about how you can get involved with Kids Run RVA. Each time a child laces up his or her shoes, you will be giving them the most important gift of all: a path to good health and fitness!

Give a gift today and give kids the gift of good health >

RACE INFO

ALL BAGS ARE SUBJECT TO SEARCH.

CATHEDRAL OF THE SACRED HEART OFFERS BLESSING OF THE RUNNERS ON RACE MORNING

Want to start this year's Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k with a little Divine Assistance? If so, you're invited to attend an ecumenical worship service and "Blessing of the Runners" that will take place at 7:30 a.m. on race day, April 22. This brief worship service will take place at Cathedral of the Sacred Heart, which is on Laurel Street facing Monroe Park—around the corner from the finish line for the 10K. All are invited to attend! For more information, contact the Office of Vocations, Catholic Diocese of Richmond, at 804-359-5661. This may be your one chance to wear your running shoes and shorts to church! Come pray, receive a blessing, then run—it might just help you hit that PR you're after!

RACE DAY PACKET PICKUP - ONLY $20

Can’t make it to the Health & Fitness Expo and would rather pick up your bib race morning? Race Day Packet Pick-up is available for $20, which will include receiving your bib pre-race and collecting your swag once you have finished. You MUST purchase before April 21.

Please follow these steps to add race day packet pick-up to your registration.

EVENT DO'S AND DON'TS

For the enjoyment of all participants and spectators, please adhere to the following event rules:

• No strollers, baby joggers, animals on leashes, skateboards, skates, handcycles, or bicycles will be allowed on the course. This will be strictly enforced.

• No one other than registered race participants may cross the finish line. Please do not have anyone join you for the final stretch. This is strictly enforced.

• The post race food area is for registered event participants only. Please do not bring family members in with you.

• Please do not leave any personal items at the start line. Anything left behind at the start line after the last wave has departed at 9:33 a.m. will be collected and either disposed of or donated to local charities.

RACE DAY PARKING & TRANSIT

We want parking to be the least of your concerns on race day, and with so many options and proper planning, it can be!

GRTC PULSE OFFERS FREE BUS RIDES FOR ALL!

The GRTC Pulse is Zero Fare! There are a handful of bus stops located within a short walking distance to the start line at Broad Street and Harrison Street. Plan your trip now with the GRTC Trip Planner

RIDE YOUR BIKE

Bike Valet service will be available in Monroe Park from 7:30 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. on Race Day for registered 10k participants. Your bike will be in good hands while you enjoy the festivities!

RIDESHARE

RideShare is always a good option these days! To avoid road closures, we suggest using 711 W Main Street as your drop-off point.

PAID PARKING DECKS

These spaces fill quickly but you can pre-purchase your parking spot and reserve a spot now!

STREET PARKING

The City of Richmond offers ample street parking. We recommend going east of Belvidere to find on-street and surface-lot parking. Keep in mind that these are always first-come, first-serve and road closures might affect availability. Click here for more information on road closures and parking restrictions.

To lessen the chance of getting stuck in traffic, please avoid the Belvidere exits off I-95 and I-195, and instead go farther east and exit on 3rd Street, Broad Street, or Franklin Street.

WAVE START INFORMATION & SCHEDULE

What are Waves? It’s pretty simple actually. Instead of one big start with all 20,000 people taking off at once, we divide everyone into almost 30 waves. Each wave is organized by people’s expected pace so that everyone can run with others their own speed. Waves start with the fastest runners, then go to slower runners, then joggers, then walkers. You selected your own wave when you registered.

While lining up on Broad Street, please look for the volunteer holding the wave sign that corresponds to your bib. For example, if the wave listed on your bib number is SB, then you will look for the “SB” sign. Your group will be walked into the starting corral as the start time for your wave approaches. Wave Security will be on hand to make sure that you are lined up with the correct wave.

PLEASE NOTE:

• If you wish to start with someone who is in a different wave, you may do so by starting in the slower person’s wave. In other words, you may drop back to a slower wave, but no one may move up to a faster wave. THIS WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED!

• Be sure to pin your bib number to the front of your shirt. You must wear your bib number to be admitted into the starting corral. Your race number also contains your timing device. Please do not bend or fold your bib as this may damage the timing device and prevent you from receiving an accurate time.

• Remember, we have chip timing to record your exact start time, so your results will accurately reflect the time it took you to run the race no matter which corral you start in.

DRESS UP & RUN CONTEST

The competition is stiff, but if you get wild and creative enough with your costume, you might just take home some cash! A panel of judges will determine the top three groups and individual/duo entries.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DRESS UP & RUN CONTEST

- You must be a registered participant in the 2023 Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k and you must wear your bib number.

- Check in at the Info Tent at Broad and Laurel between 6:45-10am prior to your race start time. Look for the Dress Up & Run Contest Sign!

- You must wear your costume while you participate in the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k.

Winners will be posted on Monday, April 24. Criteria for winning include creativity, originality, craftsmanship, enthusiasm, and theme.

Full contest rules can be found on our website.

Representing a generation of future runners, children ages 4-12 will complete a one-mile course that starts on Park Ave. and takes them to Lombardy St. to Stuart Circle to Monument Ave and back down Franklin St. where it crosses the same finish line as the 10k.

• Kids Run participants will not be timed. There will be a clock at the finish for those interested in noting their own finish time.

• As the finishers enter the finish line chute, they will receive a medal and be reunited with their parents. Then it’s on to the post-race food tent.

• PLEASE no dogs, bikes, or strollers in the start chute, course, or finish area.

KIDS RUN MEETING AREA
