2020 MARTINSVILLE HALF MARATHON & 5K  ** CANCELLED **

Due to the continuing threat of Coronavirus (COVID-19) and resulting development of protective protocols, Miles in Martinsville announces the CANCELLATION of the 2020 Martinsville Half Marathon & 5K.  This action is taken out of concern for our runners, walkers, volunteers and the community.   We do not take this decision lightly but with the highly infectious nature of this virus and the necessary isolating direction from governmental and health agencies, we feel that it is the right thing to do. 

We have a stated NO REFUND policy for all races, however, we know that our runners and walkers looked forward to race day, as did we.  In that light, we are offering several options for registrants.

·         VIRTUAL RUN - Registrants have the option to run as a virtual entrant. To exercise this option, registered runner must notify Miles in Martinsville by email at braverunner67@gmail.com, no later than March 25, 2020. 

  §   The Virtual Run can be run on any course of at least 13.1 or 5K distance respectively to lessen travel requirements.  Awards will be mailed to top three Female and Male runners in each race.  No age group awards will be given.

  §   Virtual participants will receive official race shirt for their respective event.

  §   Those who complete the virtual Half Marathon will receive our official Half Marathon finisher medal.
