Event comments

We can send an insert card, or you can return for the stamp in your books. This walk counts for the city of Richmond Virginia Cities Program and qualifies for the Find the Love Program. The award is a patch depicting the Main Street Station Clock Tower, visible as you pass it on I-95. You will pass it on your walk. Visit downtown Richmond on city streets crossing the James River. The 10 km route goes along top of the floodwall. Because Brown's Island is occasionally closed for special (paid) events, an alternate route is available. Steps make these walks impossible for wheelchairs and difficult for strollers. Owners must clean up after their pets.
