Charlottesville, VA 22902 US

Join us on Saturday, March 14th, 2026 (8:00am start) for the 16th year of The Haven's Run for Home 8K RUN / 4K WALK! Both the run and walk begin on the Downtown Mall, wind through historic downtown Charlottesville, and finish at the Ting Pavilion. Afterwards, all participants are encouraged to enjoy our legendary post-race breakfast at The Haven!

Virtual 8K run and 4K walk options are available where you can run your race remotely anytime on March 14th or 15th. While virtual participants are not eligible for prizes, we are so glad you are opting to participate and support our community!

At packet pick-up, you’ll receive all of your race materials, including bib and this year's "swag" item: a Haven beanie! Virtual participants do not need to pick up a race packet, but please feel free to come by to pick up your Haven hat!

ABOUT THE HAVEN
All race proceeds benefit THE HAVEN in downtown Charlottesville. The Haven is a safe and welcoming day shelter and housing resource center for people currently experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Serving over 85 people daily, The Haven provides respite for the weary and transformation for the ready.

NEW! Fundraise with us. This year, we're trying something new! As part of registration, every participant will automatically have their own Fundraiser Page and there are 3 ways you can make an impact:

• Make a donation!
• Be a fundraising champion!
• Fundraise as a team!

The TOP THREE FUNDRAISERS (top 3 teams & top 3 individuals) will be recognized at our award ceremony!
