Richmond Marathon 2026 road closures: What's new this year

Drivers: Plan ahead. The sold-out Richmond Marathon will bring over 21,000 runners and widespread road closures to the city Saturday, with some restrictions starting Thursday. Why it matters: This year's new race routes mean changes to which streets close and for how long, according to organizer Sports Backers.

The 8K will take a more direct route along Broad while half-marathoners will follow a new stretch of Hermitage and Princeton Roads. Also new: The full marathon sold out faster than ever, with all 7,200 spots claimed by June, per Sports Backers. The closures: Fifth Street between Bragg and Byrd will close Thursday at 6pm while additional stretches close Friday at 10am and noon. All reopen Saturday at 6pm. Newly listed Saturday closures include Seventh and 10th streets, Brown's Island Way and Princeton Road, with varying hours between 4am and 6pm. Zoom in: Other affected roads include Broad Street, Monument Avenue, Arthur Ashe, Brook Road and Forest Hill Avenue. The bottom line: If you're not running or cheering someone on, maybe move your car to

Could the next Scott's Addition be in South Richmond, Henrico or Chesterfield? Federal officials have approved 17 new Opportunity Zones across the region, offering the same tax incentives that helped finance Scott's Addition's building boom.

State of play: The 17 new zones across Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield and Hanover are among 153 approved statewide, Gov. Spanberger announced Friday . They take effect Jan. 1, 2027. They'll join 22 tracts designated in the region in 2018. Tax benefits for those original zones, which include Scott's Addition, remain in effect through 2028. Zoom in: Richmond had 11 original zones and landed eight new ones, including Monroe Ward, Gilpin Court, areas around Virginia Union University and large stretches of South Richmond. Chesterfield's new zone is around Chesterfield Towne Center, where a major renovation is planned. Henrico's five zones include parts of Lakeside and East Highland Park, plus a large swath of eastern Henrico near the airport. In Hanover, one new zone includes part of Ashland.
