• Description: The course is flat and fast and USATF certified. It is a perfect course to run to qualify for Boston. Runners start on 3rd Avenue next to Cam Henderson Center and run through downtown Huntington past Pullman Square, next to the Ohio River, and through Ritter Park among other places. The highlight is to run through Marshall University campus on their way to a goal-line finish in Marshall Football Stadium. Footballs will be available to carry in the final 100 yards if desired! A race map is available online. This course is also very spectator friendly and we will have race maps available with city maps for your friends and family to follow. NOTE – this was just re-certified. The new course has about 3 miles of crushed limestone on it around RItter Park. It is very fine and packed very well so that the course remains fast. There is no need for trail shoes, etc because of this.
