Join us for the 2024 Spring Run Challenge featuring the MHC Half Marathon and the Youth in Motion 5K on April 27, 2024, in Martinsville, VA.
Both races will start and finish near the Gazebo on Depot Street, showcasing the scenic UpTown Connection and Dick & Willie Passage Trails. These trails offer smooth paved asphalt surfaces and present challenging yet fair rolling hill terrain for participants to conquer.
This year marks the return of the Martinsville Half Marathon, now renamed the MHC Half Marathon, featuring a revamped course that differs from the original route through UpTown Martinsville.
Participants in the MHC Half Marathon should aim to complete the race in 3 hours and 30 minutes or faster, as course support will cease after this time, although the course will remain open.
The Youth in Motion 5K is a spring event for the local Youth in Motion program, designed to inspire young girls and boys to lead joyful, healthy, and confident lives. The race will see the participation of numerous youngsters, along with their coaches and mentors, fostering a sense of community and well-being. Supported by SOVAH Health, a longstanding Miles in Martinsville Title Sponsor, this event reflects the commitment to promoting health and wellness within the community.
