Event Description
This Half Marathon (13.1 mile) run and 5K (3.1 mile) run will start and end in downtown Luray, Virginia. The course, designed by local runners for runners, promises to deliver a landscape in favor of both the beginner and experienced runner. The half marathon course features a fully paved surface from start to finish (no grass, no gravel, no off road) with rolling hills and a fast final six miles to the finish. It will include individual and two options for the relay division- a four-person or two-person relay team. The four-person relay team will average a 5K distance, while the two-person relay team will average about 10K distance. The 5K will start and finish at the same location as the half marathon. There will be an after-party immediately following at Hawksbill Brewing Co., conveniently located at the race finish. The Luray area will deliver a great weekend getaway with its small-town charm, incredible views of the Shenandoah mountains, fun dining experiences, a local brewery and wine shop, and great activities for the entire family to enjoy.

Course Description:
Half Marathon Course: The half marathon course was designed by local runners with the goal of making this course suitable for all runners. The course is considered moderate on a difficult scale with only 487 feet of elevation gain. There are no major climbs, and most of the elevation gain is within the first half of the course. This makes the back half of the course easier to help you glide home to the finish. You will experience the following elements while on this course: The charm of downtown Luray; the nationally known Hawksbill Greenway trail; and incredible views of the Shenandoah mountains while you navigate the beautiful country roads of Page County Virginia. The entire surface is on paved roadway and Greenway trail blacktop. There is zero gravel or grass on this course. There will be eight water stops on course, four with restrooms and medical. Course is not closed to vehicular traffic.
5K Course: The 5K course follows the exact same course as the half marathon through mile 2.73 and then uses the same .37 miles to the finish as the half marathon. The course is flat through mile 2.55 and then has some rolling hills in the final .5 mile, with less than 100 feet of climbing. This course is open to runners and walkers so bring the whole family!
