Gwynn’s Island Race

$30

4m Run, 10m Ride or Run/Ride Duathlon: Gwynn’s Island in Mathews County is the host site of this annual race. Join runners & riders in this unique tour of one of Virginia’s special locations – then hang around to enjoy the music & food.

4 mile road run
Starting and ending at the Gwynn’s Island Civic League, the route follows quiet backroads around the island, with a constant view of the water. The race course is 4 miles and the cost is $30. For those looking for a shorter distance, we will have a Free Fun Run open for everyone (distance just > 1 mile).

10 mile bicycle ride
Weaving around the backroads of Gwynn’s Island, you’ll catch glimpses of the Chesapeake Bay, Milford Sound, and the popular campground & RV resort on the island as you complete the course. The route is 10 miles and the cost is $30.

Combine the run & ride
Feeling adventurous? Sign up for the combined Run & Ride and make it a duathlon. The 4 mile run and 10 mile ride routes are the same as the individual events described above – you’ll stage your bicycle so that as you complete the run leg, you can immediately head out onto the bike course. The cost is $50.
