Take note – the second annual “Novant Health-UVA Health System Prince William Half-Marathon” will be held on Sunday in Prince William.
According to a release, “participants will run along University Boulevard to U.S. 29 North where they will turn around just before the intersection of Sudley Road. There are three additional loops off U.S. 29 where runners will follow the course around New York Monuments Loop, the parking lot at Deep Cut and the loop around Brawner Farm,” and the course will end at Jiffy Lube Live.
To accommodate the runners, Route 29 between University Boulevard and Sudley Road will be closed between 6 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.
“Spectators for the event will not be able to access the course. There will be a number of activities at Jiffy Lube Live throughout the duration of the event, including live bands, entertainment and food for sale,” stated a release.
The race is expected to include 1,750 runners.
“To do some of the larger races, you had to go into D.C., Fairfax, Richmond. So, we really wanted to do one right here in our own backyard that would be for Prince William County residents, but would still attract people from out of the area. We have 20-plus states that will be represented in the race,” stated event organized Rob Dulin in a release.
