Mark your calendars for race day, where the Half Marathon kicks off at 8:30 am, followed by the 5K at 8:45 am. Prepare yourself for an exhilarating experience on the UC Half Marathon and 5K courses, renowned for their flat terrain and breathtaking scenery. As you lace up your shoes and hit the pavement, you’ll be treated to stunning views along the Kanawha River and through picturesque neighborhoods. Our courses are designed to showcase the natural beauty of the area while providing a memorable running experience for participants of all levels. Stay fueled and hydrated throughout your run with plenty of fluid and nutrition stations strategically placed along the route. Additionally, bathrooms are conveniently available to ensure your comfort throughout the race. It’s important to note that the Half Marathon course consists of two loops, offering a unique challenge for participants. The first loop is slightly longer than the second, and you’ll traverse some of the same roads in each loop. Rest assured, our dedicated volunteers will be stationed along the course with signs to guide you every step of the way.
