Event Information
Notice - postponement
Dear Registrants, Runners, Walkers, and friends of Marina,
First, thank you all for your support and interest in Marina's Miles!
We are going to have to postpone the race. We will choose a new date when we have a better idea when it will be safe to hold public events again. The new date will be announced here (marinasmiles.racewire.com), on our website (MarinasMiles.org), and on our Facebook page (facebook.com/MarinasMiles5K). An email will also be sent out to our registrants.
The Bobcat Bolt on June 20 has been cancelled. You should hear from them soon if you have registered for the Durham Double.
The scholarship will be awarded this year.
Thank you, and we wish you and your loved ones good health!

Purpose of this event
Marina's Miles is a 5K road race/walk to raise money for a college scholarship to be awarded to an Oyster River High School Student in memory of Marina Slavin, who died at the age of 20 from having too big a heart (medically, she had an enlarged heart caused by an infection). Marina was known for enthusiastically greeting friends - running & hugging as if it'd been years ... when it may have only been hours. She reached out to new classmates, discouraged teammates, new neighbors. She loved the people in her life passionately, and embraced life and all it had to offer (especially fall leaves, running in mud, rain, ice cream...). But she was really probably best known for running barefoot! :)
