In its 14th year as the running community’s signature Labor Day Weekend celebration, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Festival Virginia Beach featured a 1-mile beach run on the sand. Nearly two thousand runners descended on the oceanfront Saturday morning to complete the first half of the Remix Challenge. Participants who complete two days of running will earn the coveted Remix Challenge medal, which will be awarded at the finish line on Sunday.
