VIRGINIA BEACH — When the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon pulled out of Virginia Beach in 2021 after 20 years, it left a void Labor Day weekend at the Oceanfront. Local running event gurus Jerry and Amy Frostick saw it as an opportunity for a new tradition celebrating the end of summer with a “hometown feel.” The Frostick’s company, J&A Racing, is behind several long-standing Oceanfront events .
“We have 50 states and then 9 countries. I actually yesterday helped a man that traveled all the way from Japan to run the marathon," organizer Amy Frostick said.
