DIRECTIONS: 
GPS Address for event site: 
301 Jericho Rd, Smithfield, VA 23430
Please DO NOT TURN on Old Jericho Rd off of S. Church if coming in from the side of town with Smithfield Station. 
Go one more block and turn on Cedar Street to get to the event site please.  Old Jericho is a historic brick super tiny road and we try to limit event traffic.  The morning of the event, that road is closed at 8:00 AM to event traffic. 

Race starts and ends at the historic Manor House area at Windsor Castle Park, goes out Cedar Street to Mason Street (by Trinity United Methodist Church), then turn around, head back, but nip thru Jericho Estates by taking a right on Trumpet Road.  Due to potential winter conditions race will be held on roads, not on the trails at the park.

​
Complimentary water bottles will be provided for runners during the race. Race Awards will follow immediately after race results are processed at the Start/Finish line. In the event of inclement weather, Awards will be moved into the party tent. If you don't have a BOB Fest ticket, you will have to leave the party tent immediately following race awards. 

After the race awards,  you can come to the party as you are, or if local you can go home and change. If non-local you are welcome to return to your hotel or take advantage of the LUTER FAMILY YMCA shower facilities after the race. Or come as you are - runner attire is totally acceptable. 

Closer to the event you will get an email regarding details on package pick up and where to park.
