RICHMOND, VA – The Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k presented by MARTIN’S topped the 30,000-mark in total entries received today. The Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k set for Saturday, March 31, will accept 42,500 entries.
Over 1,000 youth runners ages 5-12 have registered for the Virginia 529 Kids Run, which crosses the same finish line as the 10k.
2012 Participant t-shirt design revealed. After a very successful 10k T-shirt Design Contest with nearly 50 entries, the Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k is proud to show off this year’s t-shirt design.
The artist has requested to remain anonymous, but he has been awarded $1,000 for the winning design as well as the opportunity to have his design featured on 45,000 t-shirts.
The goal of the contest was to find a design that fully portrays the experience of the race. Since 2001, the 10k has grown to over 40,000 participants, tons of partying spectators, and has become a Richmond institution. Add costumes, spirit groups, and bands to the historic beauty of Monument Avenue and you’ve got an amazing community event!
Registration is still open for the 2012 Ukrop’s Monument Avenue 10k presented by MARTIN’S, to be held on March 31, and a total of 42,500 registrants will be accepted. The registration fee is $35 through February 29. The Virginia 529 Kids Run costs $15 through February 29. Registration is available online at www.sportsbackers.org.
