Can I register on race day morning?
Yes,
you may register on race day morning, but t-shirts are only guaranteed to the first 1000 runners. Last year, the race even
ran out of bibs. This is an extemely popular race; it's best to pre-register.
Where is packet pickup?
We offer convenient
packet pickup dates on Tuesday, November 25 and Wednesday November 26, from 3 - 6:30PM at The Sentara Center for Health
and Fitness, 4001 Coliseum Drive, Hampton, VA 23666. Limited packet pickup is available on race day. However, race day morning
is extemely hectic; by using early packet pickup, you bypass the race day lines.
What is the Race Route?
The route for
both races is an out and back course over paved roads. The 5K route runs along a perimeter road on the edge of The Mariner's
Museum property, onto Museum Drive, across Lion's Bridge and then turns around just inside the east gates of the Museum.
The 10K route runs the same route but continues through the Museum property, out the West gates and around the loop of
the Lakeside neighorhood. It returns along the same course through the Museum property. There are some hills. The route is
mostly free of traffic.
Are there mile markers? Yes, there will
be markers at each mile for both races.
