Fit4Kids is proud to be a charity partner for the Sports Backers Anthem Moonlight Ride scheduled this year on August 4.
This is an awesome untimed bike ride that begins at 8:00 p.m. at Sports Backers Stadium. It’s the perfect family-friendly event and Richmond moms and dads always enjoy participating.
The event features a “Full Moon” (17 mile) route and a “Half Moon” (8 mile) route through Lakeside, Bryan Park and the near West End making it fun for everyone. ‘Wave starts’ will help alleviate course congestion, and each wave is limited to 450 participants. There is a 3-hour course limit.
Best of all, kids and adults will enjoy lots of fun too. Live music from Farm Vegas, a post-ride party and plenty of fun awaits cyclists at the finish line. Prizes will be awarded for “Best Costume” and “Best Decorative Lights” in group and individual divisions.
As the official charity of the Anthem Moonlight Ride, Greater Richmond Fit4Kids is a local non-profit organization created to improve the health and wellness of children by increasing physical activity and promoting healthy eating. The organization is focused on improving children’s health and reducing childhood obesity.
What better way to promote health and fight obesity than to take a moonlight bike ride?

After all of the training and spending hours in the cold weather and rain, it’s finally here – the Monument 10k is this coming weekend and we have lots of Richmond moms participating. Preparing for the 10k takes time, effort, and determination — and Richmondmom.com salutes everyone who is taking part in this fantastic race.
The Mother Runners have trained faithfully with Mom’s Treehouse, while others have trained with other organizations, with personal trainers, or even on their own.
The event boasts plenty of encouragement and entertainment for participants and supporters. Music is provided by Between the Covers, The Luckies, SolPocket, The Stray Dog Band, Nat King Kong, Deep Fried Mojo, Salted Dawg Blues and many more. Silly Bus will be at the Kids Fun Run start line.
The Virginia 529 Kids Run is a one-mile event for kids ages 5-12 that features all of the excitement of the 10k. They’ll kick off the morning by warming up with music and mingling with some local mascots until the start gun goes off. After racing their little hearts out, they’ll finish to the roar of a crowd through the same chute as the 10k-ers, where they’ll get a commemorative medal and head into a secure meeting area. Don’t forget to pick them up, because post-race food and festivities await. You have plenty of time to cheer them on before starting your own race.
Get ready to run and/or cheer on those who are participating in the Monument 10k this weekend, Saturday, March 31 starting at 8:00 a.m with the Kids Run and then 8:30 a.m. for the race.
Congratulations to all Richmond moms who are participating in the race and good luck!
