Williamsburg, Va.

Run for the Dream is a great opportunity to compete in a boutique race in a unique historic setting. The race has something for everyone. It includes an 8k run/walk, the 2013 USA Masters 8k national championship, and a kids’ fun run. It also includes a half-marathon and, new this year, a half-marathon relay. 

 

The course winds through beautiful Colonial Williamsburg, along quaint streets and the scenic James River, and when you cross the finish line you do it in style in William & Mary’s football stadium. It makes for a great photo finish.  Race management is Dave McGillivray and the DMSE team.

 

The race offers great value. Every year the first 3,000 registrants receive a free $70 ticket and $15 food voucher to Busch Gardens and a $40 ticket to Colonial Williamsburg.  After the race, celebrate at the post-race party with delicious barbecue and libations, live music and more.

 

This year, new race director Kelly Baker has put her personal touch to some cool new swag with a redesigned T-shirt, upgraded finisher’s medals, and a new goodie bag.  

 

Run for the Dream benefits An Achievable Dream, a nationally recognized K-12 school in Newport News, Va., and Wounded Warrior programs. 

 

Best of all, you can make a weekend of it. Discover the Historic Triangle with 400 years of history unique dining venues, wineries, museums, amusement parks, shopping outlets, boutiques, galleries, and more. It’s fun for everyone.
