Neptune’s 8K Race
Neptune's 8K Race is an 8K road race held in Virginia Beach, United States, in September.
The start line sits on Atlantic Avenue just outside Neptune's Park, around 31st Street. Runners head north along the oceanfront avenue to a turnaround at 37th Street, then double back south and loop around Rudee before heading north again to finish at 30th Street.
The route is flat and quick, with sea views for its whole length, which suits first-timers as well as seasoned racers. A children's Kids Crab Crawler runs on the same morning. The race forms one part of the Neptune Festival Boardwalk Weekend, a seaside programme of art shows, sand sculpture, parades, concerts and family activities.
