Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k Registration Now Open

The 17th annual Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k presented by MARTIN’S, named one of the country’s top 10 running races by USA Today, is now open at www.sportsbackers.org for the April 9, 2016 event. The 10k will utilize block registration and youth pricing for the first time, with the opening block taking the first 7,500 entries. Starting December 1, the rate will be $30 for adults and $20 for youth 14 and under. Overall registration will also be capped at 30,000.

All participants who complete the 10k will again receive a custom event medal to recognize their accomplishment of finishing the race.

Registration is also open for the Virginia 529 Kids Run and the YMCA 10k Training Team, a 10-week program designed to prepare runners and walkers alike for the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k. The YMCA 10k Training Team kicks off on January 30 at 18 locations in the Richmond area, with a $55 fee during the first block. Registration includes entry into the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k.

“The 10k is a fantastic celebration of an active lifestyle,” said Meghan Keogh, race director for the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k. “It is one of Richmond’s best annual traditions and a great way to bring together families and friends for an exciting community event.”

Once the first 7,500 spots have been claimed, registration will re-open at a later date with a $35 fee for adults and $25 fee for youth 14 and under, along with a $60 fee for the YMCA 10k Training Team. The Virginia 529 Kids Run entry fee is $15 through January 31 and rises to $20 on February 1. Anyone wishing to mail in their registration for either event may download an entry form at www.sportsbackers.org.
