On May 19, SVRS turned out to support the 6'th Annual Marine Corps Historic Half Marathon. Starting in the Celebrate Virginia complex, the races winds along the Rappahannock river and in through historic Fredericksburg, before returning back to the starting point.
The event consisted of the 13.1 mile half marathon, along with the Historic 10K, and Semper Fred 5K races. Over 7781 runners finished the Historic Half, 757 the 10K, and 732 for the 5K.
SVRS staffed two Medic units for the race, one at the start/finish, and the second initially at the 3 mile marker. Several runners were treated and transported, but no serious injuries or illnesses occurred.
