Dee Kolpak's thoughts:

I have actually run this race 3 years (2013-2015) The weather can be unpredictable. Sometimes its cold, like really cold and other years its been great. I didn't run it in 2017 but saw that they had a mixture of just about everything including sleet and snow. Be prepared for anything and note that wind can be a factor.

The course is almost entirely flat as is most of Virginia Beach itself. The biggest "hill" is a ramp you run over on the course, no biggie. The finish line is on the boardwalk of Virginia Beach. Lots of restaurants and things to do before and after the race if your making it a race-cation!

J&A puts on great races in VA. They are well organized and I would highly reccomend any of their races. Swag is always great and medals are nice. Expo is on the bigger side also.
