Richmond T. Rex Run

Richmond T. Rex Run takes place in Henrico, Virginia, on November 15, 2026, with a single event: the T. Rex Run, a half-mile dash (about 0.5 miles, or 0.8 km) starting at 2:00 PM. This is a very short, fun-focused outing named for the dinosaur rather than a race you'd train toward, and the afternoon start makes it easy to fit into a Sunday.

Half a mile is short enough that anyone can take part, from small children to adults who don't run at all, so think of it as a community event first and a run second. If you do want to move quickly, a few minutes of easy jogging and some leg swings beforehand will do more good than any training plan. Families can go together, and the distance means nobody is out on the course for long. It's also a fun, low-stakes way to introduce kids to a start line and a finish line before they try a full mile or a 5K.
