About 10K races in Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC

Coastal Miles And Flat Power

Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC hosts 12 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

The boardwalk runs 7 miles along the oceanfront. First Landing State Park is the local long-run bet, with Cape Henry Trail carrying you through marshes, forests, and water views toward 64th Street, Atlantic Ave, and the boardwalk. Norfolk runners use the 9-mile Elizabeth River Trail, while Newport News runners hit Noland Trail around Lake Maury. North End Run Club, Norfolk Run Club, SPARC Worldwide, and Tidewater Striders keep the group-run calendar busy. Shamrock Half Marathon, Neptune’s 8K Race, and Tunnel to Towers 5K give the season its anchor events.

Riders get base miles from the beach roads, Pungo, and the Newport News City Park Bike Path. Tripower Cycling Club of Virginia keeps the pace honest, with Tuesday and Thursday rides from Terrapin Restaurant parking lot at 7:15 AM for 40 miles at 18-20+ MPH. Saturday rides leave Conte's Bike Shop, and the loops run from C pace to A+ pace. Back Bay West Gravel and False Cape State Park bring sand, gravel, and beautiful views, and False Cape State Park has over 12 miles of unpaved roads. The climbs live mostly away from the coast, where Bear Creek Lake State Park has 2110 feet of gain over 42.69 miles.

May through November is the best stretch, and locals treat it like a long coastal block. Summer brings warm, humid conditions, so runners start at the Oceanfront, use First Landing for shade, and run races like Absolute Beach - Virginia Beach, Sand & Surf 5k & 10k, and Breathe n Run 5k. Riders use early rollouts, with the July 4th Independence Day Ride leaving Conte's Bike Shop at 7:00 AM. Winter stays mild, so Z2 does not disappear; runners still have the Tidewater Striders Turkey Trot 10K & Mile in November, and cyclists carry fall fitness from the 2026 Pink Ride in October.
