Three days. Eight teams. One champion. The People’s Battle of Richmond rolls into the Greater Richmond Convention Center this Friday, Oct. 25 and continues with adrenaline-pumping action all weekend.

Hosted by River City Roller Derby, the contest will feature teams from Florida, South Carolina, Indiana, and around Virginia.

You can witness all the action by getting one, two, or three-day tickets — buy in advance to save on admission. The event will also include a raffle, vendors, and concessions.
