MR Half Marathon
The MR Half Marathon is a 13.1 mile out and back race held on the rail trail in Morgantown, West Virginia, hosted by Morgantown Running on Beechurst Avenue. The course begins behind the Seneca Center and proceeds toward the Point Marion / Sheepskin Rail Trail for 6.55 miles before returning to the start.
The route is straight and flat. The surface is pavement for just under three miles, then changes to crushed limestone. Runners can expect shaded sections and views of the Monongahela River.
A separate Kids Mile uses the same rail trail in an out and back format, approximately 0.5 miles each way toward the Core Arboretum.
Race operations details include a four hour time limit, nutrition on course with gels provided, and water stations at miles 2, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 11. Dogs are not permitted on the course. The first 245 registered participants will receive event swag. Awards are offered to the top three overall male and female finishers, and first place age group awards are given in the following ranges: 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89, and 90 and up.
