Canaan Valley Half Marathon, 10K & 5K

The Canaan Valley Half Marathon, 10K & 5K road race takes place in one of the East Coast’s most idyllic settings and is just a short drive from two amazing towns and any outdoor activity you could possibly want! This destination race features the scenic brilliance of Tucker County, a place known for its outdoor opportunities.

The race route will run through various parts of the stunning Canaan Valley. The course will start off at the Canaan Valley State Park Ski area and travel through the challenging yet inspiring rolling hills of Canaan Valley. We anticipate about 1000-1200 feet of total elevation gain on our scenic and beautiful course. Final course routes will be available by late July 2019.

Canaan Valley is just miles from the rugged backcountry of Dolly Sods and Canaan Mountain, the amazing vertical feet of Blackwater Falls State Park, and the luxury of Canaan State Park Resort.

Neighboring towns Davis and Thomas offer eclectic restaurants, multiple breweries, art galleries, and live entertainment just miles from the race course that make the Canaan Valley Half Marathon and 10K a perfect reason to make this a runcation.

​Although it is a world away, Canaan Valley is only a half day’s drive from major metropolitan areas including Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Columbus.
