2027 Friend or Foe 5k

The Friend or Foe 5k is a themed 5-kilometre event held April 24, 2027, at Osborne Park & Boat Landing in Henrico, Virginia. Participants choose an allegiance—Team Red (Benedict Arnold) or Team Blue (Marquis de Lafayette)—and the event is set at a historic landing associated with a Revolutionary War naval engagement. The VA250 Mobile Museum Experience "Out of Many, One" will be onsite.

Points from this event count toward the Year-Long 5k & Back of the Pack Series and the Spring Series. A virtual race option is available for those who cannot attend in person.

Runners receive a finisher medal, a technical (Dri-fit) event shirt, and the event uses chip timing. T-shirt sizes are guaranteed for runners registered before April 14; additional shirts may be provided after that date on a first-come, first-served basis. Early registration pricing for the 5k is listed at $17.81 until April 15 (regular $23), and price increases by $5 on race morning for race day entries. Packet pickup is available at the event; participants are advised to arrive about one hour before the event to check in.

Course maps are available on MapMyRun. One water station is placed at approximately mile 1.55; Gatorade may be provided at some stations. Restrooms are available onsite. Live results are posted on Athlinks with a QR code at the event; final results and series points are posted the Monday after the race. Photos taken by staff are posted to the event Facebook page by the Tuesday after the event.

Awards are presented to the top three men and women overall and to 1st and 2nd male and female finishers in the following age groups: 19 & Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. Top three overall finishers are not eligible for age-group awards. A social media challenge selects a favorite race weekend post each Tuesday, with the winner receiving 50 percent off a future race.
