Ashland Half Marathon and 5k
The Ashland Half Marathon and 5k takes place in the town of Ashland, Virginia, often referred to as "The Center of the Universe." The event provides participants with a course that travels through a community characterized by historic homes and a bustling downtown area. The geographic setting includes views of local restaurants and breweries.
The event features several participation options:
- 13.1 Miles (Half Marathon)
- 5k
- Virtual 13.1 Miles
- Virtual 5k
The routes are designed to showcase the small-town atmosphere of the region. A notable feature of the course is the proximity to active rail lines, offering runners the opportunity to run alongside passing trains. The physical event starts near the intersection of Henry Clay and Center Street, specifically at the address on Railroad Avenue. In addition to the in-person races, virtual versions of both the half marathon and the 5k distances are available for participants who cannot attend at the physical location.
