About the Greenbrier River Trail Marathon
This fall marathon turns one of West Virginia's signature rail trails into a welcoming full-distance course. Its gentle profile appeals to road runners exploring trail racing as well as experienced collectors.
Course
The route runs along the Greenbrier River Trail on a largely flat former rail corridor. Consistent grade favors rhythm, while crushed surface and long linear stretches feel different from pavement.
Race-day weather
Early October in Pocahontas County often brings cool air and changing leaves, but rain, fog or a warm afternoon remain possible. River-valley shade can hold morning chill.
