Some of Virginia’s most popular 10K running race events take place in and around Virginia Beach and the Hampton Roads area. The 10K is a perfect southeast Virginia race because the race courses are flat and fast. In addition, many of the running routes are along water – including the Atlantic Ocean and Elizabeth River.
10K races in Virginia are a great stepping stone for runners moving up from 5K races, and often serve as training runs for those interested in half marathons.
Top Virginia 10K races include:
- The Wicked 10K – held each October in Virginia Beach with a finish along the Atlantic ocean on the boardwalk!
- The Norfolk Harbor 10K – This event in downtown Norfolk is part of the Norfolk Harbor Half Marathon race weekend. Held each November, it’s a great race weekend on a nice, flat course.
