Ridge to River is a 4-mile and 10-mile trail race held in Barboursville Park, Barboursville, West Virginia. It begins and ends near Shelter 5. The race commences at 8am and marks its 17th year. Both distances share the initial section: the 4-mile race follows the first four miles of the 10-mile route. The opening eight-tenths of a mile ascends before participants enter dense woods and single-track trail. The 10-mile course offers an extended exploration of the park, featuring approximately 2.5 miles alongside the Guyandotte River and a concluding 3.5 miles that are largely flat, save for a single steep incline. The final eight-tenths of a mile descends to the finish. The longer race includes three aid stations, all providing water; the middle station also offers Huma gels. The 4-mile race has no hydration stop. Brooks typically provides demo shoes and prizes, and participants receive a light breakfast post-race.
The State Games of West Virginia 5K Trail Run/Walk and 11K Trail Run in Huntington begin at Heritage Farm’s covered bridge in the afternoon. These events are part of the State Games of West Virginia. A 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk is available for families and younger children. The 5K and 11K are trail races, and the mile is a farm walk or run on the Heritage Farm grounds. The 5K route ascends Grindstone Trail to the summit before descending Corn Husker Trail, finishing near the covered bridge. The 11K offers a longer course for experienced trail runners. Medals are awarded to the top overall male and female finishers and to age-group winners in the 5K and 11K. The mile event includes children’s divisions and adult awards. Medal recipients are eligible to represent West Virginia at the State Games of America, a national competition for state-games medalists.
Løb: Huntington-løbere dukker op omkring Harris RiverFront Park, centrum og Marshall’s campus, når River City 5 Miler/5k starter. Ruten dækker 04 km med en stigning på +7 m. Meeks Mountain Trails, Grindstone Trail og Corn Husker Trail holder trail-løbere på spidsen. Guyandotte-floden giver hurtig, flad trail-træning efter dyb skov og singletrack. Marshall University Cross-Country er en del af det lokale miljø. Marshall University Marathon, River City 5 Miler/5k og State Games trail races er højdepunkterne på kalenderen.
Cykling: ACE (Ashland Cycling Enthusiasts) giver Ashland-cyklisterne vejledningen, og klubben har været aktiv siden januar 2003. Bear Creek er favoritten, fordi lokale kalder det TDF-kvalitetsveje. En stigning er 4 km med 1.796 m højde. En anden stigning er 5 km med 863 m højde. Six Hills-ruten, Big Nebo, Short Nebo, Greasy Ridge, Pleasant Ridge, Taylor Ridge og Leatherwood Road er de store udfordringer. SMBT-ruten og Wayne-Cabell Century er de lange dagers højdepunkter.
Sæson: Efterår er den bedste tid for både løb og cykling, med køligere luft og nok lys til Z2, intervaller og lange base-mile. Sommeren holder det livligt, og Ultraviolet Mushroom Hunt finder sted 1. juli med en natvandring på Meeks Mountain Trails med UV-lygte. Cyklisterne starter tidligt på Bear Creek, Kinnickinick Creek og Symmes Creek, før dagen bliver for varm. Løbere træner hurtigt på River City, Barboursville Park-højdearbejde og Meeks Mountain singletrack. Vinteren forkorter kalenderen, men de samme løber stadig, når lokale holder tempoet stabilt.
