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. What's changed: All three races have new starting locations along Broad Street, while the finish line moves from to Fifth and Byrd Streets instead of near Tredegar. 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

Petersburg opens new park to honor local veterans

PETERSBURG − Against the backdrop of Veterans Day , Petersburg leaders and citizens gathered to dedicate a downtown park designed to honor the city's past, present and future veterans. The Nov. 11 ceremony dedicated Rotary Memorial Peace Park, a 9,700-square-foot former parking lot repurposed into a greenspace in which to relax and reflect. It is bordered by East Washington, North Jefferson and Franklin streets. Peace Park is the brainchild of Richard Taylor, a longtime Petersburg resident and civic leader who started work on it a few years ago after receiving a call from someone alerting him to the condition of the old parking lot. "It really was a labor of love," Taylor told the audience. Through the generosity of local businesses, Petersburg Rotarians and a $15,000 grant from the Rotary Foundation, the old asphalt was ripped out and replaced with soil and sod − and all done without spending a single city penny. The size of the park is 9,726 square feet. Taylor said that number was chosen for a reason. "I say 9,726 because if it had been 10,000 square feet, I would have had to apply to the federal government for a permit to get rid of [the
