Regency Mile - Henrico

Regency Mile - Henrico is run in Sandston, Virginia, in the Richmond area, on October 25, 2026. The listed start is a 1-mile race, 1.6 kilometers, at 7:45 a.m., on a course fully closed to traffic that circles Regency Square Mall. The program also includes a mile for children, a mile for parents, and a 400-meter dash for kids aged five and under.

Racing a mile is a rare thing for road runners and worth trying: it is short, honest, and over quickly, and the closed loop means no traffic to interrupt the effort. Warm up thoroughly, since you will be at full pace within seconds, and go out slightly slower than feels natural so the last quarter is not a survival exercise. A fall festival follows the racing with candy, games, and activities, cash awards go to local schools to support physical education programs, and a virtual option exists if you cannot make the date.
