LOVE Run
Cape Charles Main Street is pleased to announce our annual Love Run will be held on Saturday, April 22, 2023! Our family-friendly 5K COLOR run/walk and first-ever inaugural timed 10K race will take participants through the historic downtown of Cape Charles overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. Runners and walkers can pass through color stations, IF THEY CHOOSE, and be sprayed with bright, fun, harmless, and environmentally safe colors! Our 5K and 10K runners will be timed and there will be prizes for overall and age category winners!
This annual fundraiser will benefit the beautification of our town, including the maintenance of the Love Sign, promote economic vitality for local merchants, and sponsor young local runners to participate.
After the race, join us by the love sign for live music, celebration, fun family activities, and an awards ceremony. Of course, we’ll also have food, water, beer, mimosas, and bloody marys!
