There’s more photos on the FaceBook site.
Manny says “Thanks to everyone for making this fun but especially the team captains!”
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.
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.
From Manny in regards to the 2nd Annual Oregon Hill Memorial Day Invitational:
Important message for all team captains: remember–All ROSTERS ARE DUE AND ARE LOCKED ON MAY 18TH. You shouldn’t wait until then since this tournament is a first come first serve with a six team cap. see post dated 3/8
Scene from this morning’s 2nd Annual 5k Run/Walk to Remember on S. Laurel Street:
The Virginia War Memorial will host their 2nd annual 5K Run/Walk to Remember on Saturday, April 6 at 8 am. The route goes through Oregon Hill and Hollywood Cemetery. Between 8:30 am and 9:30 am there will be 500 participants traveling on the streets.
The event will only close 2nd Street from the Lee Bridge to Byrd Street the morning of the race. No others streets will be closed. Soldiers from Ft. Lee will be along the race route directing participants.
