The same first-class service that makes us “America’s Friendliest Marathon” elevates the HCA Virginia 8k to a premier experience for all participants. From packet pick-up through the post-race celebration, you'll be greeted with smiles and encouragement by race staff, volunteers and spectators. Enjoy the musical performers and spirit groups along the course and be sure to leave plenty of time for the great Finish Line Festival in Shockoe Slip.  Race begins at 7:30 a.m.
