Ruck Run/Walk - Robious Landing 3 Miler
Old-school trails. Pure racing.
The Robious Landing 3 Miler is a no-frills, classic trail race that highlights old-school cross-country running at its best. Hosted by Richmond Road Runners Club, this event emphasizes great trails, a supportive racing environment, and a focus on the run itself.
Brand new for 2026, the Robious Landing 3 Miler introduces a Ruck Walk/Run division, offering participants an added endurance challenge by completing the course while wearing a weighted backpack or a Weighted Vest. Participants under 150 lbs. must walk/run with 10 lbs. Those over 150 lbs. must carry 20 lbs.
For 2026, the race returns to Robious Landing Park with both in-person and virtual options available.
Formerly known as the Huguenot 3 Miler, this race remains a favorite early-season challenge.
Both events are RRRC Grand Prix (GP) races for 2026.
