One of the longest running summer track series in the state and likely the entire nation is the Richmond Road Runners' Summer Track Series. Though the series has changed ownership quite a few times it is still known as the Richmond Summer Track Series and a lot of the same officials are used. This year will once again be held at the University of Richmond on their gorgeous track with many great athletes and a ton of unique events.
These races are for EVERYONE! No matter skill level or team affiliation. There is no cost to doing this and it is a lot of fun. Run with your teammates, college friends, or even family.
