The courses are designed to be flat and fast, taking runners through several local landmarks. The half marathon route passes through historic Downtown Hampton and follows the Hampton Roads Harbor.

Both of these races conclude near the Hampton Coliseum.

Participants can choose from the following distances:

  • Half Marathon (21.1 km)
  • 5K

In addition to individual races, the event offers the Shell Yeah! Challenge, which requires completing multiple races over the weekend.
