Lace up your shoes for the Deep Run parkrun, a free, fun, and friendly weekly 5K community event set to take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in Richmond, VA. This inclusive event welcomes walkers, joggers, and runners of all abilities to Deep Run Park at 9900 Ridgefield Parkway. The 5000m (5k) course is run entirely on paved paths, featuring a scenic route that includes two laps around the lake, followed by a paved out-and-back section, and finishes with another lap around the lake. While generally a smooth run, be aware that some sections may accumulate mud, leaves, and puddles following rain.
Deep Run Park provides a beautiful backdrop for this event, boasting lush landscapes, serene water features, and expansive green spaces. Public restrooms are available for convenience. Typical race day conditions in late June bring highs around 88F and lows around 66F, with a 17% chance of precipitation, making for a warm but often pleasant morning start at 8:00 AM.
Beyond the course, Deep Run parkrun is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, fostering a strong sense of community. Organized entirely by dedicated volunteers, this event encourages participation from everyone, whether you're aiming for a personal best or simply enjoying a walk in the park. After the run, many participants gather for a post-parkrun coffee at a local Dunkin Donuts, providing a perfect opportunity to connect with fellow runners and share experiences.
