What better way to start off your Valentine’s Day celebration than with a heart-themed race, that provides distances not often offered in the area, as well as spectacular views!
The 5K race utilizes the popular Wrightsville Beach Loop, N Channel & Coral Drive. The 10K heads east on Salisbury St. to the most eastern Pelican Dr. cross-over, where athletes run west on Pelican Dr toward the drawbridge. The 10K route then continues underneath the drawbridge, east on Old Causeway Drive to Causeway Drive and then to Waynick Blvd. Runners will then travel south on Waynick Blvd. until they reach the halfway turn around at Taylor Street just south of the Blockade Runner Resort, and reverse the route back to the park while enjoying the beautiful waterway views along the way. Wear your red, white, and pink and bring your Valentine to Wrightsville Beach!
This race course is also stroller friendly! However, dogs are not allowed on this course so please leave them at home or with a non-running spectator.
Proceeds from the Valentine Run will benefit the Wrightsville Beach Parks & Recreation Department, which supports the various programs, activities, and events offered to the community throughout the year!
