RVA Elite 5K: Presented by Collegiate Running Association

One goal: FAST
The RVA Elite 5K presented by the Collegiate Running Association returns for 2018. Come race a 5K on the fastest course there is-a track! This event was created in 2017 with a goal of assembling the strongest field of men and women in the Richmond metro and surrounding areas to produce a FAST 5K for all involved.

This event will take place Wednesday June 13th, 2018 at 8:30 PM at the University of Richmond track. Men and women will race together. It will begin after the last event of the RRRC summer track series that evening. Timing and officiating will be provided by University of Richmond coach and CRA co-founder Jon Molz.

The race is free and open to all that want to compete. However beginners and those looking for a “fun run” experience are advised of the nature of this event. This is a high end, no-frills, track meet style competition. 2017 statistics for the inaugural event:
