Event
Details
Featuring a course that follows a route along this central Virginia
city's Blackwater Creek Bikeway & Riverwalk, a 14-mile trail
that combines both paved and natural surfaces on its route along the
James River that flows nearby, the Lynchburg Half Marathon & 5K
is part of the Lynchburg Road Runners summer race series of running
events.
The out-and-back course for the race starts and finishes at Lynchburg's
Riverfront Park, which looks over the James and nearby Treasure Island,
which lies in the middle of the river. From there, runners follow a
course along the bikeway, which includes plenty of shaded, tree-lined
stretches, and the race is run entirely on paved surfaces. Runners will
start the race at 7:30 AM and they may register on the day of the race
at Riverfront Park.
