Charity Information

Richmond Metropolitan Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit organization that helps individuals and families build and improve places to call home. We believe affordable housing plays a critical role in building strong and stable communities.

Since 1986, we have partnered with more than 390 individuals and families in the City of Richmond, Henrico County, and Chesterfield County to help them achieve the dream of owning a home. We facilitate the purchase of homes through our Homeownership program and provide critical home repairs through our Home Repair program.

There are a variety of ways you can support our mission!

Shop. Donate. Volunteer.

You can Shop at our ReStores, which are nonprofit home improvement stores and donation centers that sell new and gently used furniture, appliances, home accessories, building materials and more. We have physical stores located at 1201 Mall Drive, Chesterfield, VA 23235 and 1901 Roane Street, Richmond, VA 23222. We also have select items online at richmondhabitatrestore.org.

You can Donate – monetarily, in-kind, or items to our ReStores.

This is a fairly flat, paved route. This route runs mostly through Dorey Park and is a great beginner route. The 10k is out-and-back twice.

Back of the Pack Time: 11:00 min/mile

What is the Back of the Pack (BOTP)?  It is not a cut off time, it is actually a series we have geared towards people who average higher than the BOTP listed above.  This allows runners of similar pace to compete with each other and get series points. Visit Bishop’s events FAQ for more information about this and other questions you may have.  https://bishopsevents.com/series-faqs/

Live results will be posted on Athlinks.com.  Additionally, there will be a QR code at the race for you to scan to immediately view your results.  Final race results with series points will be posted to our website on the Monday following your race.

Runner tracking is now available when you sign up for a race with Bishop’s Events. Click on the green SMS button (see example below) at the end of your registration and have your race updates sent to your mobile device as well as those of your friends &amp; family so they can track your race progress.

Race officials may delay, change or postpone the event due to weather conditions.  All registered runners will be notified via email of any changes.  In most cases, a decision is not made until the night before the race, and a decision could come as late as the morning of the event.
