Robious Landing 3 Miler

Lace up for an authentic trail running experience at the Robious Landing 3 Miler, hosted by the esteemed Richmond Road Runners Club. Set for Sunday, March 8, 2026, in scenic Midlothian, VA, this 3-mile event embodies classic cross-country racing at its best. Formerly known as the Huguenot 3 Miler, it remains a beloved early-season challenge and a key race in the RRRC Grand Prix series. Typical race day conditions in early March offer invigorating highs around 56°F and lows near 34°F, with only a 12% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for hitting the trails.

The course itself is a highlight, featuring two engaging loops on the natural trails and paths of Robious Landing Park. Runners can anticipate uneven terrain, including roots, rocks, and potentially some mud, making it a true test of trail agility. This "no-frills" race focuses purely on the joy of running, offering a supportive atmosphere amidst the park's beautiful natural landscape. Participants should come prepared to carry their own fluids as there are no on-course water stops, emphasizing the self-sufficient nature of this trail adventure. Post-race refreshments, however, await all in-person finishers.

The Robious Landing 3 Miler is a cherished event for those who appreciate old-school trail running and offers both in-person participation on March 8th and a flexible virtual option from March 6th to March 9th. For runners aged nine and up, this chip-timed race promises a pure and exhilarating outing. The start and finish are conveniently located within Robious Landing Park, where check-in and bib pick-up commence bright and early before the 9 AM race start. Remember, for safety and course integrity, strollers, pets, and wheeled devices are not permitted on the challenging trail course.
