About the Ogden Newspapers Half Marathon
This West Virginia half has nearly five decades of history and remains a central piece of Wheeling's wellness weekend. Its demanding road profile gives it a different appeal from flat spring city races.
Course
The Wheeling route is known for repeated elevation changes rather than one isolated hill. Runners return downtown near WesBanco Arena, where managing the earlier climbs leaves more room to race the finish.
Race-day weather
Late May can be warm and humid in the Ohio Valley. Hills increase heat load, and shade can vary across the city streets, so early hydration is important.
