Cape Charles LOVE Run

Get some miles in at this family-friendly run/walk! Timed events: 5K, 10K or 1 mile options that will take you through Historic Downtown Cape Charles, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay.

Start times will be STAGGERED for the 1 Mile (9:00 AM), 10K (9:15 AM) and 5K (9:30 AM). All events require registration and include a t-shirt, timed event,  post-run-party with music, kids' activities, snacks, and a finisher medal (4th in a series of 4).

Participants can opt to participate in the color zone and be sprayed with bright, fun, harmless, and environmentally safe colors. This color zone will be available for all events: 10k, 5k, and 1 mile.

A free Kids’ Dash (10 & under) will be organized on Bay Avenue at the conclusion of the other events, so round up those kiddos and bring them along! 

We will also have our third annual Wheelchair Accessible Race!

Participants in the Kids' Dash and Wheelchair Race will receive a prize medal, which is different than the 1-Mile, 5K & 10K finisher medal.

Packet pickup will be open on Friday, April 23, from 4:00 - 7:00 PM at the Cape Charles Civic Center. Day-of packet pickup will be at the beach gazebo from 7:45 - 8:45 AM. Race registration will also be available on the day of the LOVE Run.

Free parking will be available in the Town Public Parking Lot, accessible at the intersection of Peach Street and Mason Avenue.
