Lace up your shoes for the Appomattox River Greenway 5K/10K on June 14, 2026, a scenic journey through Colonial Heights, VA. This 10K event invites runners to experience the natural beauty and historical charm of the Appomattox River Greenway Trail. The course is an engaging out-and-back, requiring 10K participants to complete two loops of a mostly flat, hard-surfaced path that winds along the picturesque Appomattox River. Runners will enjoy continuous river views, passing through significant wetland areas and tidal channels, with opportunities for birding and observing wildflowers. A notable feature is an elevated overlook offering expansive vistas where a historic railroad once ran.

Starting and finishing at the Appomattox River Greenway Roslyn Landing Access, the race promises a well-organized experience, characterized by supportive volunteers and clear communication, as is typical of events in this series. Participants can look forward to receiving a themed finisher medal as a memento of their achievement. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes before the 8:00 AM start, concluding 10 minutes prior, and all registrations must be completed online, as there is no on-site registration.

Prepare for typical mid-June conditions, with historical data suggesting highs around 86F and lows near 65F, accompanied by a 17% chance of precipitation. While parking is available at Roslyn Landing, it is limited, so planning ahead is advisable. This race is a fantastic opportunity to achieve your running goals amidst a beautiful and accessible riverside setting.
