    This is the 13th time that I have run the News & Sentinel Parkersburg Half Marathon. The race was not held in 2020 or 2021 due to COVID. It was great to return to WV for this beloved race, but this year, there were a lot of differences. The challenging course was the same (although I swear those hills grew in size over the last three years!!), but the organization and execution of the race was not the same as it has been in the past. The volunteers were fantastic, and I really LOVE those wet towels that are given out at the finish, but I really missed Chip and the Smoot Theatre for the awards ceremony.
