About
Get ready to lace up your running shoes for a cause that will add a burst of joy to your step – the Smart Smiles 5K! This isn't just any race; it's a chance to be the reason a child smiles. The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Virginia Peninsula counts on you to make smart choices for smart health, and this event directly supports their commitment to nurturing both physical and emotional wellness among youth. With your participation, local kids gain access to vital dental care, healthy cooking classes, counseling, and much more. What's more, we've spiced things up with a brand-new race route for 2024 at the scenic Mariners' Museum & Park! And remember, early birds catch the worm – or in this case, the guaranteed race shirt and bag if you sign up before July 15. Discounts abound for students, active military, and youngsters, so rally your team for a chance to snatch up awards or even conquer the Team Theme Contest. Mark your calendar for the key times, with the gates opening bright and early at 6:45 am. Ready, set, race for those Smart Smiles!
