Details
Be ready for an early start at the Hatfield-McCoy Reunion Festival
Marathon & Half Marathon -- the event begins with a shotgun
start at 7:00 AM at the Food City grocery store in the eastern Kentucky
town of Goody, near South Williamson. From there, both full and half
marathon participants follow Highway 119 south through the town of
Toler, after which the course takes runners through the coal camps of
Hardy, and through the real "Hatfield-McCoy" feud country -- past the
homestead of Randolph McCoy and the gravesite of many of his relatives.
After the run through Toler, the race leads participants past the foot
of Blackberry Mountain, near the home site of Rev. Anderson Hatfield,
where much of the origin and legends of the feud got their start. The
half and full marathon participants run the same course along Route
1056, to the Tug River, where runners will cross the bridge at Buskirk,
Kentucky, into the historic village of Matewan. Here, the half marathon
runners cross the finish line.
