Wood River Run 2025

Join us in a celebration of life and adventure with our annual 5K Fun Run, dedicated to the vibrant spirit of Christian Wood, a passionate kayaker whose legacy continues to inspire. With every stride, you'll help fund Friends of the James River Park, support underprivileged kids through the Christian Wood Scholarship Fund for Passages Adventure Camp, and bolster the educational endeavors of the JRPS Education Department. Connect with community members, honor a soul deeply connected to the James River, and contribute to a cause that promotes outdoor education and park stewardship. The course offers a mix of stunning vistas, nature trails, and riverbank paths, making it perfect for families, running enthusiasts, and pet owners alike. Secure your spot, rally your friends, and be a part of this vibrant event—it's more than a race; it's an opportunity to make a difference while celebrating the joy of the great outdoors.
