Description:
Get your shoes laced up and prepare to take to the road! The Miller Lite Charlottesville Marathon is Saturday April 5th. This race was named one of the the top 15 spring races in the country by Life of the Daily Burn. It is a scenic and historic race which showcases premier city-centered courses for the marathon, half-marathon, 8K and a kids race. The race course goes through some of the best areas of Charlottesville, from the University of Virginia’s Rotunda to the historic neighborhoods looking out into Albemarle wine country.
On Friday there is a new innovative event – Bibs & Breakfast sponsored by Whole Foods (also the main sponsor for the half-marathon). Pick up your bib and have a great breakfast the day before the big race.
Bad to the Bone Endurance Sports and Miller Lite are sponsoring “Lite Up The Mall” during the pre- and post-race Expo which will include the Miller Lite beer garden, live local bands and a great lineup of vendors on Charlottesville Downtown Mall.
So come cheer on your friends, neighbors and all the runners on April 5th. Spots are still available if you want to run yourself!
From the Author: OK, I must admit that I am no longer a runner. However, I keep thinking this race offers me the opportunity to restart a sport I enjoyed before. I do think I will try for the 8K race next year. See you there!
