Blackwater Canyon Half Marathon - Thomas, West Virginia - Running

The Blackwater Canyon Half Marathon is a Running race in Thomas, West Virginia consisting of a Half Marathon Trail Run.

The Blackwater Canyon Half Marathon will take place on the Allegheny Highlands Trail running from Thomas, WV to Mill Race Park in Parsons, WV. Please join us for this epic event in support of the Highlands Trail Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to trail development in the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia.

The Blackwater Canyon Rim is a downhill trail that curves along the Blackwater River and its North Branch, meandering through the steep rhododendron-lined canyon. Views of the river, including scenic waterfalls, are sure to make this an enjoyable day for experienced runners and novice outdoor enthusiasts alike.

Race prizes include hand-painted finisher woodallians and age group award mugs by MUD (and the comfort of knowing you have helped to support a good cause while getting outside and having a great time!)

To save waste going to the landfill, this will be a cupless race. We will provide each runner with a Salomon Soft Speed cup, or similar product.
