Silent Memorial Day Run On Monday
I did not see this listed with the Virginia War Memorial activities, but the Times Dispatch has a story about a ‘silent’ Memorial Day run to honor fallen soldiers.
Stephen Adt, a VCU police officer,
organized an informal silent run for noon on Monday, Memorial Day, from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Siegel Center to the Virginia War Memorial on South Belvidere Street to remind the community that the holiday is more than just hot dogs.
Walkers on Saturday
No, not that kind of walkers…
Times-Dispatch Go! Discover Richmond is holding a 10k walking event Saturday that will tour downtown, Jackson Ward, and Oregon Hill. First wave starts at the Virginia War Memorial at 8:30 am.
