About the Surfers Healing 5K
The course runs along the Virginia Beach boardwalk, so you are on pavement with the ocean beside you for the whole route. The race uses staggered wave starts, with competitive runners going first, then paired athletes including handcycle and running-guide teams, then the main field. It benefits autism awareness and draws a range of participants.
Packet pickup the evening before is held at a resource center on Virginia Beach Blvd. Race-morning pickup is available at the start area on Atlantic Ave, which gives you time to get your bib and get settled before the waves go off.
