About the Sandy Bottom 8-Hour
The Sandy Bottom 8-Hour: It's Just A Training Run is at Sandy Bottom Nature Park in Hampton, VA. This is your chance to dust off the winter cobwebs and make some new running buddies while on a training run on a flat, fast, 3.75 mile loop.
There is a strong emphasis on "It's Just A Training Run" - it's like you're running with 149 of your best-running friends.
It's an old school, low-key event. We'll have lap counters (you yell out your bib number, we write it down). We'll have aid for you, but you're encouraged to bring your own, too. There is a competitive element and we'll have awards for top runners.
Refunds: There are no refunds if you cancel your registration. However, if you know you need to cancel, please do so as soon as possible to allow people on the waitlist an opportunity to run. We are limited to strictly 150 people.
About the run itself:Parking & Set Up: Park opens at sunrise and you park and set up anytime after that.
Check In: 7:15 am until 7:45 am
Race starts: 8 am
Race ends: 4 pm
You can run as much or as little as you want. Run one loop, run 15!
Temperature: It's Hampton Roads, so it could be 30 degrees or 75 - you never know). Year 1 of the event it was quite pleasant (even with a little rain at the start), Year 2 &3 it was pretty cold!
Bring your own hydration device - this is a cupless event. You are encouraged to bring your own nutritional items, too. We'll provide a list of aid station items as the race event nears and promise yummy aid!!
The run is 3.75 miles and covers a very easy, navigable loop. The course will be well marked. This is the same course as the 24-Hour Virginia Run for Cancer.
Awards: Keeping with the It's Just A Training Run tradition all runners will earn a sweet homemade medal. We'll also have top 3 awards for women and men.
Facilities & Cost:There's a restroom in the Sandy Bottom Nature Center and it is heated. The large shelter at the park will be rented and used for the run, although you are also asked to bring your own portable chairs (you'll be notified if we can have tents this year). Race registration fees go towards helping cover the cost of the shelter rental, medals, & aid station items.
Sweet ShirtsThis year we'll have a shirt option and you can snag a sweet short-sleeve shirt for just a few bucks.
