Due to the expected arrival of Hurricane Irene on Saturday, August 27 to the southeastern Virginia area, with weather deteriorating throughout the weekend, a joint decision has been made between the Colonial Road Runners, York River State Park, Friends of York River State Park, and the Spirit Works Foundation, to move up the race to Friday evening, August 26, at York River State Park, with the 1 mile fun run now set for a 6:00 p.m. start time, and the 5K run/walk for a 6:30 p.m. start time. The original race times were going to be Saturday morning. Race day registration and packet pickup will now start at 5:00 p.m. Friday at the park.
This change in race time will allow race participants to get the race out of the way on Friday, under expected better weather conditions, then to drive home safely, and to make their own preparations for the arrival of the tropical system on Saturday.
