2026 Norfolk Harbor Half Marathon

Experience the vibrant city of Norfolk, Virginia during the Chartway Norfolk Harbor Race Weekend presented by Sentara in 2026. This annual event features three race options—the invigorating 5K, energetic 10K, and scenic Half Marathon—each offering a unique journey through Downtown Norfolk's bustling streets.
Runners will navigate past iconic landmarks such as the thriving art community of the NEON District, the historic charm of Old Dominion University’s campus, and charming neighborhoods brimming with local flavor. The flat terrain ensures swift times for competitors while providing an enjoyable experience for recreational runners seeking a leisurely pace along the waterfront.
Keep your eyes peeled for Norfolk's signature mermaid statues sprinkled throughout the Half Marathon route. With over 20 of these captivating sculptures dotting the landscape, you'll be treated to more than just great running conditions as you admire local art and soak in the city’s unique character.
The event atmosphere is further enhanced by cheering crowds lining the streets and a vibrant post-race celebration where participants can unwind with fellow runners. The Chartway Norfolk Harbor Race Weekend promises an unforgettable blend of athleticism, culture, and community spirit.
