Happy Monday Spiders! Can you believe we’re more than halfway through the Fall semester? Time is racing by – and it’s not the only thing that’s racing! The Richmond Marathon is this weekend so make sure you show out to support UR and Richmond runners! This week is full of even more fun, from music recitals to magic shows.
Free live music performances on campus – Fall semester Mini Recital
Support UR music students tonight at the Mini Recital in Perkinson Recital Hall! Music students have been practicing all semester and tonight they will share and perform the pieces they’ve been working on. This event is from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and is free with no registration required.
Race Day in Richmond — America’s Friendliest Marathon
Come support Richmond runners at America’s Friendliest Marathon on Saturday, Nov. 15, from 7 a.m. to noon. Spirit groups and community members will cheer on runners of the Allianz Marathon, CarMax Half Marathon and VCU Health 8k races as they run through the city and cross the finish line at 5th & Tredegar Street at Brown’s Island. At the end of the races, join the CoStar Group post race party with food trucks, drinks and live music at the Canal Walk. If you don’t plan on running or supporting runners, do plan on closed streets Saturday morning! You can learn more about the race – and which streets to avoid! – here.
