The 5k, 10k, and half-marathon races start at 9 a.m. at the Bedford Plaza, 23285 Bill Brown Rd.
More than 600 runners participated in last year鈥檚 race.
Registration has closed, said TryEvents race director Mitchell Hudson, but volunteers are still needed.

Specific roles for volunteers will be assigned the morning of the race.
