The =PR= Run Club Summer Solstice 2mph Challenge: Endurance Run & Community Celebration!


Join us for our 2nd annual Summer Solstice Run, a unique and challenging event that celebrates the longest day of the year with a community-focused endurance run! This is a self-supported event, designed to test your limits while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow runners.


Event Format: We'll be running a repeating 2-mile loop, starting and finishing at the =PR= Run & Walk store. You'll have the option to run as many loops as you desire, challenging yourself to push your boundaries to the full 20 miles.



Weather Considerations: Mid-July in RVA typically brings warm and humid weather. Please be prepared for potentially challenging conditions. Please bring a hydration vessel (water bottle, hydration pack, etc.). It will be a mandatory requirement for each participate to ensure adequate fluid intake during each 2-mile loop.


Refueling Station: We will provide a refueling station at the store, located between rounds. This station will be stocked with:

• ZYM Hydration
• Water
• A variety of snacks (e.g., fruit, gels, salty snacks)


Self-Supported Event: While we'll provide basic hydration and snacks, we encourage you to treat this event like an ultra-endurance, self-supported run. If you have any specific dietary needs or preferences, please plan accordingly and bring your own preferred fuel and hydration. Additional items to share with the group are also welcomed.

• Sun Protection: Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to protect yourself from the sun.
• Clothing: Wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothing.
• Footwear: Choose comfortable and well-worn running shoes.
• Reflective Gear: The route will include sidewalks, back alleys, and roads open to traffic. Please wear bright clothing or reflective gear for safety.
