Morgantown Running 4 on the 4th
The Morgantown Running 4 on the 4th is an annual athletic event held in Morgantown, West Virginia, to celebrate the Independence Day holiday. The event offers multiple distances for different age groups and participation preferences:
- 4 mile run
- 4 mile walk
- 1 mile kids race
The 4 mile course begins on the rail trail behind the Seneca Center. Participants head toward Star City for approximately two miles before turning onto Monongahela Boulevard. The route passes the WVU Coliseum and follows Beechurst Avenue for the final mile. To return to the finish line behind the Seneca Center, participants turn at the 6th Street intersection to re-enter the rail trail. The 1 mile kids race is an out-and-back course located entirely on the rail trail, starting from the main finish line and heading toward Deckers Creek.
Course safety is managed by police officers and volunteers stationed at key intersections to control traffic. For the main race, participants must keep to the right while on Monongahela Boulevard. A course record prize is available for runners who surpass the existing best times in the male and female categories.
Professional timing services provide results within 24 hours of the event. The first 250 registered participants across all categories receive a commemorative shirt. Packet pick-up is available on the day prior to the race and on race morning at the Morgantown Running store. Parking is provided at the Seneca Center lot. Please note that dogs are not permitted on the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
