🏃‍♂️ 7th Annual Canaan Valley Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K Presented By Mountain Top Realty & Canaan Valley BBQ

Join us for the 7th Annual Canaan Valley Half Marathon, 10k & 5k, April 25, 2026! Hosted at Canaan Valley Resort, in Tucker County, West Virginia, in the heart of the Potomac Highlands. This road race takes place in one of the East Coast’s most idyllic settings and is just a short drive to any outdoor activity you could want. The area is also home to two amazing and eclectic mountain towns full of arts and culture. So if you are looking for a new Half Marathon, 10K, or 5K to run and need a mountain vacation or just a getaway for the day or weekend, we are the race for you!

Once again we will be offering all distances on both Saturday, April 25, and Sunday, April 26! We have reserved the entire Canaan Valley Resort for the weekend to create an Epic Destination Running Experience. You are welcome to come for the day, but we'd love it if you spent the weekend with us. This year we will also be bringing back our Kids Race on Saturday at 12:30pm.
