Get ready to run the waterfront at the 13th annual Chartway Norfolk Harbor Race Weekend presented by Sentara. Scheduled November 21-22, this premier racing event offers a flat and fast course that takes participants through the heart of Downtown Norfolk, the vibrant NEON District, historic neighborhoods, and the Old Dominion University campus. Runners can choose from the Half Marathon, 10K, or 5K distances, with the Half Marathon route famously featuring over 20 of Norfolk’s iconic mermaid statues.
All races culminate in an exciting waterfront finish along the Elizabeth River, followed by a high-energy post-race celebration at Town Point Park featuring live music, food, and drinks. Whether you are aiming for a personal best or participating with the whole family, the weekend captures the athletic spirit of the city.
