  • Gatherings of more than 100 people temporarily banned in Virginia!

    Fellow runners, this is the latest news. Obviously, when you combine runners and volunteers, nearly all of our races are >100 participants. We’ll let you know race by race as much as we can. This may be for just a few weeks or possibly up to mid-May…

  • COVID-19 Impacts to Local Races

    Fellow PTC Members, Runners, and Volunteers,

    As you are all aware, due to the spread of COVID-19 there have been many postponed and cancelled events.

    Please monitor all event websites or Facebook pages for updates. Most registered runners will receive an email on the status of events, but volunteers may not.

    Locally, today’s Ft. Eustis 10K Run/Ruck was postponed, as was the Virginia Fire Chiefs Foundation 5K (CRR); dates to be determined.

    The upcoming Victory at York 10K/5K (4 April) is also postponed; date to be determined. The H.E.A.R.T. 5K (4 April) in Williamsburg is canceled.

    This morning, the City of Hampton directed that the Joe & Sue Moore Memorial Scholarship 5K (28 March) be cancelled.

    We will attempt to provide updates as we learn them. In the meantime stay safe, healthy, and fit… and check out the guidance/recommendations by the CDC.

    PTC President

  • Joe & Sue Moore Memorial Scholarship 5K Cancelled with “Virtual” race option

    All, I regret to inform you that the Joe & Sue Moore Memorial Scholarship Race must be cancelled. Please see the attached from Danielle (Moore) Hundley regarding the planned “Virtual” race. As she states, this race directly benefits current high school seniors who may be eligible to apply for a PTC Scholarship. Your understanding is appreciated.
