The Extra Mile 5K takes place at 4021 Forest Hill Avenue in Richmond, Virginia on April 11, 2026, though the actual event offering is a 1-mile run rather than the full 5K distance. The race starts at 9:00 AM, making it accessible for those who want an early morning effort before the day heats up. Entry fees range from $15 to $40 depending on registration timing and options. This short-distance format works well for runners building base fitness, testing race-day pacing, or fitting a competitive effort into a packed weekend schedule. Richmond's spring weather in mid-April typically offers mild conditions suitable for running. If you're traveling to the area for other spring racing or training, this event provides a convenient local option without requiring a full 5K commitment.
