T. Rex Run
🦖 Join the Jurassic Jog! 🦖
The Richmond T. Rex Run is a FREE, 0.4-mile fun run at Dorey Park on Sunday, November 16 at 2 PM. Suit up in your best dino costume (inflatable T. Rex encouraged!) and waddle, sprint, or stomp your way around the lake. No timing, no winners—just big laughs, tiny arms, and a prehistoric good time!
Join Us for a Fun (and Free!) Run
This run is a FREE community event, and everyone is encouraged to join in the fun! While there’s no registration fee, we welcome and appreciate donations to support the Richmond Road Runners Club (RRRC).
RRRC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to keeping running a low- to no-barrier sport, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to pursue health and fitness through movement. We do this by keeping race entry fees affordable, offering free or low-cost training resources, and funding scholarships and community grants.
Each year, RRRC reinvests $30,000+ back into the community through grants, scholarships, and charitable donations. With your support, we can continue making a meaningful impact:
-
A $35 donation helps provide a race entry for someone in need.
-
Or, help us reach our $3,000 goal to fully fund one community grant or scholarship — every contribution brings us closer!
Your generosity helps make running accessible to all and strengthens our local running community. Thank you for helping us keep Richmond moving!
