READY TO RUN

From race morning to after the finish.

Your start time, fuel and bag drop.
Know them ahead and the run feels easier.

The Pie Gobbler only allows online pre-registration through RunSignup;

there is no race-day on-site registration.

Four events — 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon — are held together, starting at 8:30 a.m.

Bib (packet) pickup begins 30 minutes before the start and closes 10 minutes before the start, so it's safer to arrive with plenty of time.

Past editions have run a course time limit of around 3 hours 30 minutes,

but since the marathon event is new for 2026, this year's time limit for each event may differ,

so it's best to double-check the official page before registering.

Times are local to Williamsburg. Check the latest official information before the race.
