Good Medicine 5K & Fun Walk

Lace up for a truly uplifting experience at the Good Medicine 5K & Fun Walk, set for Saturday, September 26, 2026, in the charming community of Powhatan, VA. This event is more than just a race; it's a vibrant celebration of health and wellness, offering both a chip-timed 3.1-mile (5K) run/walk through the scenic Powhatan Village and a delightful 1-mile fun walk perfect for all ages and fitness levels.

The course begins and ends at the Free Clinic of Powhatan, located at 2320 Skaggs Rd, making it convenient for participants to gather and celebrate.

What truly sets the Good Medicine 5K & Fun Walk apart is its festive atmosphere and commitment to community well-being. After crossing the finish line, participants can enjoy the "Fresh Start Fair," a lively, health-themed market featuring cooking demonstrations, free wellness resources and screenings, healthy tastings from local vendors, and engaging activities for kids. The Richmond Road Runners Club provides professional finish line services for the 5K, ensuring a well-organized and memorable event for all.
