Runners can still do Star City Half Marathon, 10K โ virtually, of course
ROANOKE, Va. โ Running a marathon virtually seems a little different, but the organizers for this annual Roanoke marathon have a plan to bring runners to the finish line. The race committee for the Star City Half Marathon and 10K announced Thursday that the event is going virtual this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Organizers say they are also providing registered participants a $10 gift card to Downtown Roanoke merchants and the first 350 people to register or remain registered for the 2020 race will receive a $10 gift card to Dickโs Sporting Goods. The race committee will still offer overall awards for both races as well as prizes for the Best โCourseโ Picture and Best Finishline Photo. For more information about the face, click here.
