Why 10 nautical miles...

Our unique race distance represents the

distance from a ship to the horizon line;

a distance for which our military battled

when they stormed Normandy in June of

1945. Our runners gladly take on that

challenge to commemorate the work of

our US Military.

For you landlubbers, a 10 nautical mile

race is similar in length to a half-

marathon.
