ELIZABETH RIVER RUN 10K & MileAbout the Race

The 42nd annual Elizabeth River Run 10k is coming home to NORFOLK!

After 15 years, the 6.2 mile race will return with an all-new course on the iconic Elizabeth River Trail. Runners will begin at the starting line on the Old Dominion University campus, weave through tree-lined historic neighborhoods, take in sweeping views of the Elizabeth River on the Hampton Blvd Bridge, and cross the finish line in a beautiful private park located at the Port of Virginia. This is the first race to be exclusively held on the Elizabeth River Trail, a 10.5 mile multi-modal trail with award winning amenities. Registrations are limited to 1000 runners, so don’t wait to sign up! All proceeds benefit the Tidewater Striders and the Elizabeth River Trail Foundation. The Elizabeth River Run 10k is presented by Sentara Healthcare.

The Elizabeth River Trail Foundation’s mission is to create the most iconic urban, riverfront trail in the country. Running 10.5 miles, the ERT connects businesses, historic attractions and 28 neighborhoods within a five-minute walk. Through artful placemaking, dynamic amenities and a robust schedule of free, family-friendly events, the ERTF encourages healthy living while enhancing environmental awareness and neighborhood connectivity.
