Trail running, mountain biking, kayaking, SUP, skimboarding, riverside yoga, fishing and more were among the highlights of Dominion Energy Riverrock May 19-21. The annual event helps promote Richmond’s riverfront, Downtown trails and whitewater rapids for outdoor enthusiasts and others who don’t mind getting wet every now and then. Highlighted by the James River, surrounding trail network, and numerous parks, this year’s Riverrock was a crowd pleaser for the young, old and in between.
