Below are the award winners for the 1st Annual Heart and Sole 5K held in Newport News Park, Newport News, VA on Saturday morning, December 9, 2023. The race was sponsored by the Peninsula Track Club with proceeds benefiting the Yorktown Hospice House.
The course for the Heart and Sole 5K is the same as the PTC New Year’s Day 5K and consists of a triple out-and-back starting at the Ranger Station on Constitution Avenue in Newport News Park, running along the length of Constitution Avenue (two of the out-and-backs) with an out-and-back section on Stable Road. The 5K course is accurately measured but is not USATF certified at this time. The runners ran the course correctly as measured.
The Heart and Sole 5K was originally scheduled for September 23, 2023, but was postponed due to the forecast effects of Tropical Storm Ophelia which reached near hurricane strength upon landfall in North Carolina on that date. The December 9 make-up date may have been problematic, but conditions at race time were great for running, partly cloudy with a temperature of 48 at race start. 143 runners entered the 5K race with 84 runners and walkers completing the 5K.
