About this race
The Hatteras Island Cancer Foundation, an all-volunteer non-profit organization, provides support for cancer patients and their families who live on Hatteras Island. Founded in December 2000, the group’s primary goal is to raise funds to offer financial support for patients to help them pay for medical costs not reimbursed by insurance and to pay for travel expenses for themselves and their caregivers to medical centers for cancer treatment.
This year we are starting back with in-person racing and it will be a COLOR BLAST race! Different stations will be set up to "blast" you with color! It's colored baby powder and is not harmful to humans or clothing. It's best to wear our race T-shirts or your choice of white clothing for the full effect!
The cost for the 5k is $45. Runners, walkers, bikers, and strollers are welcome. This is a timed event so walkers and strollers are asked to start at the back of the pack.
Thank you for your support and participation.
What to expect
Written from race dataThe HICF 5k Virtual 5k is scheduled for October 11, 2024, and offers a unique running experience in Avon, NC (27915). While the specific history of this particular 5k event isn't detailed, its "virtual" nature implies participants can complete the 5k distance from any chosen location, allowing flexibility for those unable to attend a physical race. However, the listed location suggests a potential connection to or intended starting point in Avon, NC, which is situated on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Participants should anticipate a self-guided run where they can track their time and distance using their preferred method. The terrain around Avon, NC, is generally flat and often characterized by sandy roads and paths, with the possibility of coastal breezes. Runners might encounter a mix of paved surfaces, beach access points, and potentially some light trails. The "virtual" aspect means the race organization will likely focus on digital participation, with results submitted online and potentially virtual awards or recognition. The notable feature of this race is its virtual format, offering accessibility and convenience. While the "Event Type: 6" doesn't offer specific insight without further context, it may refer to a category within a larger series or a specific type of fundraising or charity designation. Regardless, the HICF 5k Virtual 5k presents an opportunity to engage in a running challenge while enjoying the flexibility of a virtual event, potentially with a connection to the scenic Outer Banks environment.
