Join us for the 9th Annual Canaan Valley Half Marathon, 10k & 5k, April 24 - 25, 2027! Hosted at Canaan Valley Resort, in Tucker County, West Virginia, in the heart of the Potomac Highlands. This road race takes place in one of the East Coast’s most idyllic settings and is just a short drive to any outdoor activity you could want. The area is also home to two amazing and eclectic mountain towns full of arts and culture. So if you are looking for a new Half Marathon, 10K, or 5K to run and need a mountain vacation or just a getaway for the day or weekend, we are the race for you!
Once again we will be offering all distances on both Saturday, April 24, and Sunday, April 25! We have reserved the entire Canaan Valley Resort for the weekend to create an Epic Destination Running Experience. You are welcome to come for the day, but we'd love it if you spent the weekend with us. This year we will also be bringing back our Kids Race on Saturday at 12:30pm.
Back this year: Later start times, the Return of the Kids Race, plus course improvements (see our website for more details)
All details beyond race date, distances, and approximate times are based on 2026 and may be subject to change, although we do not expect substantial changes.
Packet Pickup will be held at Canaan Valley Resort State Park (event venue) at minimum 6:30-8pm the night before each race and for a limited time race morning. See our website for most recent information.

Awesome Giveaway options TBD.
All finishers over 21 years of age get a complementary beer as well, in addition to post-race snacks.
