About this race
The Downtown Sundown 5K begins at 8 p.m. in downtown Blacksburg, Virginia, shortly before the late sunset. It is included in the Summer Solstice Festival and is the fifth event in the RunAbout Race Series, giving it a local festival atmosphere instead of a typical morning road race. Participants are encouraged to wear glowsticks, lights, or reflective gear, suiting the timing as the race starts in daylight and progresses into dusk.
The course begins and ends near Draper Road and Washington Street by the Blacksburg Municipal Building, then winds through town on streets and paved paths. A water station is located just after mile 2. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers, masters and grand masters winners, and age-group recipients, with each runner eligible for a single award. Strollers will begin at the rear, headphones are not recommended, and these regulations help maintain a clear course for runners.
