Runners from all corners of the US embrace this fantastic Runcation. Local trekkers come from Davis, Thomas, Elkins and cities in between in West Virginia. But our reach extends far beyond the Mountaineer State.

Runners looking for half marathons near Pittsburgh, New York, Richmond, Columbus, and Washington DC choose the Canaan Valley because it’s a smooth run and picturesque place. However, the run itself is just one of the many highlights of the area.

The quaint mountain towns in the area perk up when our running tribe shows up to explore the surrounding areas. From local eats and breweries to delightful art galleries and live entertainment, destination runners will love the Canaan Valley Half Marathon.
