MR Half Marathon
The event is an out and back half marathon on the Morgantown rail trail, organized from a start location behind the Seneca Center in Morgantown, West Virginia. The course is described as straight, flat, and fast. Runners follow the rail trail toward Point Marion/Sheepskin Rail Trail for 6.55 miles before turning around and returning to the start. The route begins on pavement for just under three miles, then continues on crushed limestone. Participants can expect shade and views of the Monongahela River along the course.
