Semper Fred 5K

Semper Fred 5K Presented by Hyundai Hope on Wheels
Whether a first step on a new running journey, an all-out assault on a personal record, a comfortable 3.1 mile run or a Sunday morning pre-brunch activity, the Semper Fred 5K offers motivated runners the chance to experience race day excitement and the thrill of crossing a big time finish line. With a name that represents the character of its two hosts, the Semper Fred 5K combines the Marine Corps slogan of Semper Fi with the abbreviated nickname of this city affording its runners the best of both cultures on a challenging run. The 3.1 mile run moves to a new format in 2013 with the introduction of a point-to-point course from Route 1 to the Historic Half finish line at the Expo and Conference Center. For those familiar with the Fredericksburg terrain, this means the new course does indeed incorporate Hospital Hill. In fact, much of the course is now an uphill climb to the finish. The new Semper Fred 5K will be held on Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 7:00 a.m.

Baggage
Semper Fred 5K participants may check their approved, clear bag adjacent to the start line at the baggage trucks located at Fredericksburg Shopping Center.  These support vehicles will relocate to the finish area.  Post-event baggage claim will be coordinated out of the Fredericksburg Expo and Conference Center parking lot.
