Free museum entry and a healthy 10K walk through Richmond’s history centers is on the schedule for June 5 2010. The Stride Through Time begins and ends at Tredegar on the banks of the James River. Accompanied by live music at various intervals, you’ll travel the 6.2-mile course through nine historic districts in downtown Richmond, past numerous museums, historic sites and monuments, over cobblestone and brick.
Join these striders through time on June 5 2010. The Poe Museum is one of the sites along the way!
Antique cars, historical figures and authentic architecture will bring 400 years of history to life, all while you enjoy a fantastic workout. Many museums along the route will be open for free during the walk. You must sign up before the event. SIGN UP. And, the fee entitles you to a bib with number, a goodie bag, water stops along the course, a finisher t-shirt, food and festivities at the finish line at the American Civil War Center, free admission to many of the museums along the route, live entertainment, and living history performances. You’ll have to pick up your packet beginning at 7 AM on Saturday June 5. Walk begins at 8:30 AM with a wave starting every 15 minutes. There is a course limit of 4 hours!
If you’ve selected a Richmond bed and breakfast for this fun-filled weekend, beginning with First Friday Art Walk, then spending Saturday striding through time, and Sunday at Broad Appetit, let us know you’ll need an early breakfast to make the start line in time to set off with your wave. At the William Miller House Bed and Breakfast, your hearty gourmet breakfast will stick to your ribs for the duration of your walk. This promises to be a weekend to appeal to the art lover, the history lover, and the food lover in everyone!
