Maymont provides
a spectacular setting for one the premier running festivals
in the country. You’ll run in the shadow of the opulent
1893 Maymont House, over tree-lined hills and fields and
past wildlife areas filled with bison, deer and other animals.
The beautiful estate allows spectators great visibility
and easy access to multiple points along the course.
The McDonald’s
X-Country Festival at Maymont is organized by the Richmond
Sports Backers, who also operate the SunTrust Richmond Marathon
and the Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10k, both nationally-recognized
events known for their high quality and dedication to delivering
a memorable experience for participants and spectators.

 Along
with the 5k and Half Marathon divisions for participants of all
ages and shorter distance events for Elementary and Middle School
kids, the event will also feature high school teams. There
will be thousands of competitors, live bands, a live announcer,
food vendors and a professional event set up.
The beautiful course
starts near Maymont House and doubles back on itself several times
allowing spectators easy visibility to multiple points along the
course. The course takes runners past large oak and magnolia trees
along with deer, bison and other animals in the animal habitat
areas. In Byrd Park runners will pass a lake and scenic sculptures
before returning to Maymont. The course then passes by the
Children's Farm at Maymont before heading back to Maymont House
and the finish line.
 Mark
your calendars and be sure not to miss the 5th annual McDonald's
X-Country Festival at Maymont!
