Parkersburg News and Sentinel Half Marathon and Two Mile Race

Thousands of spectators line Market Street before the Parkersburg Homecoming Festival Parade, with the half marathon finishing directly into that crowd. The Parkersburg News and Sentinel Half Marathon and Two Mile Race is a Saturday morning event in Parkersburg, West Virginia. It features a half marathon, a two-mile run and walk, competitive walking divisions, and wheelchair rim push or hand cycle divisions. The half marathon begins downtown at 8 a.m., with the wheelchair field starting ten minutes prior. The two-mile race commences shortly after from Third and Juliana streets, near the Towne Square Parking Garage. The half marathon serves as the RRCA West Virginia State Championship. Its course departs the city, crosses nearby West Virginia roads, then circles back into the commercial district for a Market Street conclusion. The two-mile race is also an RRCA West Virginia Championship, concluding at Sixth and Market streets. This race includes Company, Family, and School team scoring, calculated from each team’s four fastest participants. Half marathon participants receive a tech shirt, pasta dinner, finisher medal, and a post-race pizza lunch. Two-mile participants get a T-shirt, with dinner and lunch tickets available for purchase by them and their guests. Awards are separated by event; the two-mile ceremony takes place at Bicentennial Park, and the half marathon awards are presented near the finish line before the parade commences.

Challenge at Mountwood

Each spring, all classes at the Challenge at Mountwood start from the marina parking lot at Mountwood Park, located 12 miles east of Parkersburg, West Virginia. This cross-country mountain bike race takes place within a 2,600-acre park system featuring over 30 miles of trails, predominantly singletrack. The race is included in the West Virginia Mountain Bike Association’s cross-country point series and also contributes to the Ohio Mountain Bike Championship, attracting participants from both sides of the Ohio River. Riders select courses based on their class: beginners navigate 7 to 8 miles with approximately 900 feet of elevation gain, sport riders tackle 14 to 16 miles with about 1,750 feet of climbing, and expert riders compete on 20 to 21 miles with around 2,600 feet of ascent. The event has been held for over thirty years, with entry fees supporting trail tools, supplies, and upkeep at Mountwood and adjacent parks. The River Valley Mountain Bike Association, a volunteer organization, manages 245 miles of trails within a 45-mile radius and organizes trail workdays on the first Saturday of each month. A kids skills clinic, led by the local NICA team, is also part of race day, accommodating participants from young children to riders in their 80s.

McDonough Trail Race

The McDonough Trail Race takes place in July at McDonough Wildlife Refuge in Vienna, West Virginia. The race starts at the refuge on Rosemar Road. Runners complete an 8-mile race by doing two laps of a 4-mile loop. Walkers cover the same loop once for a 4-mile walk. Each lap involves approximately 430 feet of climbing. The course is approachable yet offers genuine trail challenges. The loop winds through forest and past duck marshes within the wildlife refuge, giving the event a nature preserve atmosphere rather than a road race feel. It is part of the River City Runners and Walkers Series. Completing this event counts as one of six races required to earn a personalized jacket at the series awards banquet. Now in its second edition, the McDonough Frontier Trail Race attracts both runners and walkers.

Over fietsen en hardlopen in Parkersburg

Parkersburg-Vienna Training Notes

Hardlopen: Parkersburg-runners houden het simpel en lokaal. De route loopt 5 mijl naar de grens van Parkersburg. Lokale lopers gebruiken dat geasfalteerde stuk voor Z2, strides en makkelijke shakeouts vanaf de Ohio Valley Rowing Club. De volledige ronde is 44 km met 18 m stijging. De kortere optie is 16 km met 2 m stijging. River City Runners and Walkers Club is de aanjager, en de Kid Series houdt families bij de races betrokken.

Fietsen: Parkersburg-Vienna-fietsers hebben geasfalteerde paden, rail trails en singletracks zonder er een groot ding van te maken. De Parkersburg Ohio River Trail is perfect voor ontspannen ritjes langs de Ohio River. De McDonough Trail biedt een 3-mijl-lus door bossen en eendenmoerassen met tot 430 voet stijging per ronde. Mountwood Park heeft 4 mijl singletrack, en The Challenge at Mountwood is het belangrijkste evenement. De North Bend Rail Trail loopt 72 mijl, dus basisritjes kunnen een avontuur worden. De steile stukken zitten op McDonough en Mountwood, met serieuze hellingen tot 20%.

Seizoen: De lente is het beste seizoen voor beide sporten omdat The Challenge at Mountwood dan plaatsvindt en de trails de moeite waard zijn. Mei brengt de Red White and Boom 5K Color Run, en juni combineert de Kicks4Kids 5K Run/Walk met de Chick-Fil-A 10K Road Race en de Two-Mile run/walk. Augustus is het moment voor de Parkersburg News and Sentinel Half Marathon en Two Mile Race, dus lopers bouwen intervallen en langere steady work op in de zomer. Lokale fietsers starten vroeg in de zomer als de Z2 beter voelt. November gaat over de 48e Annual Parkersburg Turkey Trot, en in de winter gaat het om onderhoudsritjes, parkrondes en kortere tochten.
