Pony Pasture 5K

Richmond Road Runners Club dedicates this annual 5K race to the memory of Dr. Peter Still. Peter was a scholar, gentleman, runner, and a friend to many. The proceeds of this race benefit the Richmond Road Runners Club Scholarship Fund. Each year the club has awarded two $2,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors. The scholarship is awarded to individuals who have and will represent the beneficial aspects of running as a healthy lifestyle. The recipients of the 2018 scholarships will be announced at the conclusion of the Pony Pasture 5K.

Race date and details are tentative and subject to change.

Registration will open in April 2018.
