Recurring Half Marathon races near Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Cumberland Valley TrailFest
The 20th Cumberland Valley TrailFest is centered at Shippensburg Station, a key location for this long-standing event. It is a vital part of the Cumberland Valley Race Series, a yearlong competition with events throughout the Cumberland Valley, connecting runners with the region's expansive trail network. This milestone edition is presented by the Cumberland Valley Rails-to-Trails Council.
All events begin and conclude at Shippensburg Station, located at the corner of Fort and. Runners will follow routes curated by the Rails-to-Trails Council, embracing the unique characteristics of converted railway lines. This gathering marks two decades of fostering outdoor activity along the valley's scenic paths.
Snack Town RunFest 2026
Snack Town RunFest takes place in Hanover, Pennsylvania, offering several distances rather than a single main event. The available races include a chip-timed half marathon, 10K, and 5K, along with a 5K Corporate Challenge and a Kids Fun Run for participants aged 4 to 12. The event occurs in early October, organized by the Hanover Area YMCA and supported by partners Utz Brands, Inc. and WellSpan Health.
The half marathon covers approximately 13.11 miles on a single-loop course, and the 5K is about 3.11 miles, also on a single loop. This format attracts a variety of participants: half marathoners, shorter-distance runners, corporate teams, families, and children who can race themselves instead of just observing. A local tradition is the Beer Bash on George, featuring craft breweries as part of the post-race activities.
Freedom's Run
Freedom's Run ties its races to places where Civil War history is part of the ground underfoot: Harpers Ferry, Antietam, and the surrounding region. The series includes a May Harpers Ferry Half & 5K and an October Freedom's Run event, with distances ranging from a full marathon and half marathon to a 10K, 5K, and Kids Fun Run.
The Harpers Ferry races run inside Harpers Ferry National Park, while the longer Freedom's Run routes connect runners with historic sites in and around the area. One runner remembered entering Antietam in cold rain, with mist rising from wet earth and the field going quiet as the group ran together. The series also links to Two Rivers Treads, a local running store with a foot-first approach to shoes and gait, and it raises money for a community grant fund supporting local health and community projects.
Buzz Sawyer Western Maryland Marathon/Half Marathon/10k
The Buzz Sawyer Western Maryland Marathon/Half Marathon/10k begins and ends in Hancock, Maryland. All three races take place on the Western Maryland Rail Trail. This October event offers marathon, half marathon, and 10k distances. The marathon and half marathon courses are USATF certified. The marathon is also a Boston Marathon qualifier, attracting runners aiming for a qualifying time and locals seeking a trail race.
The course is entirely on the WMRT, a rail trail passing through a town linked to trail travel and C&O Canal history. This is the race's 11th edition, now named for Buzz Sawyer, a Washington County distance runner, coach, race director, and founder of the JFK50 Miler. Katie and Adam Lowe of 2Lowe Run Company direct the event, having taken over from Frank and Mike of Altis Endurance, with the goal of upholding the race's local traditions.
End of the Road Half Marathon & One Tunnel 4 Miler
End of the Road takes runners onto the abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike near Waterfall, Pennsylvania. The main attractions are miles of old highway and long, dark tunnels. This October race weekend includes a half marathon and the One Tunnel 4 Miler, offering runners a choice between 13.1 miles or a shorter route that still passes through tunnels. The 4 Miler is also suitable for walkers and less experienced runners seeking a distance beyond a 5K but less than a half marathon.
The half marathon features approximately five miles of tunnel running, followed by rolling rural roads, quiet pavement, mountain vistas, and peak autumn foliage. Runners will go through two turnpike tunnels illuminated by headlamps and glow sticks. This section runs on a road that was bypassed when traffic was rerouted from the old highway. The weekend also presents challenge options: the Road Rambler Challenge consists of two half marathons over consecutive days, while the Tunnel Traveler Challenge combines the half marathon with the 4 Miler. A pre-race Movie Night on the Turnpike enhances the vintage road ambiance.
Gobbler 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Biglerville, PA (45)
The Gobbler 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon is a running event in Biglerville, Pennsylvania, starting from 2880 Table Rock Road.

The event has a 3-hour and 30-minute time limit, emphasizing a looped course design over a point-to-point route.
Schaeffer Half Marathon, 10K, 5K Trail Run
The Schaeffer series is a trail-running event by EX2 Adventures held in Maryland and Virginia. It offers three race distances: a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K trail run. This event is designed for runners seeking a trail experience over a road race.
The format provides participants with a choice between a longer trail effort, a middle-distance run, and a shorter option. EX2 Adventures also organizes adventure racing and triathlon events, placing the series within the region's wider outdoor endurance calendar.
Holiday 5K, 10K, & 13.1M at Biglerville, PA (49)
The Haunted 5K, 10K, & 13.1M in Biglerville is a small race offering multiple distances, starting at 8:30 AM with a straightforward setup on race morning. Participants select either a 5K, 10K, or half marathon. Registration is required in advance via RunSignup; no on-site sign-ups are permitted. Packet pickup begins 30 minutes prior to the start and concludes 10 minutes before the race commences.
The course consists of short out-and-back segments instead of a single extended loop.

Participants should locate Pavilion 4 on the left side of the parking lot upon entering the park. The time limit for all participants is 3 hours and 30 minutes.

About Half Marathon races in Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV
Hagerstown-Martinsburg Training Notes
Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV hosts 17 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals keep running pretty simple around Hagerstown-Martinsburg. Fairgrounds Park, Pangborn Park, City Park, Riverbottom Park, and Leitersburg Ruritan Park all work for easy miles, and people run often around Fairgrounds Park and Pangborn Park at sunrise. The C&O Canal is always good, especially for long runs and steady Z2. The canal also gives Lock 2 Lock Marathon/Half Marathon/10k and HER 5K that flat, fast feel. The AT is the move if you really want trail running. Soul to Sole Sistahs gives women a local group option, and Jack Roberts Memorial 5K, St. Patrick's Day Run Fest, Krumpe's Donut Alley Rally 5K, and Way Station Turkey Trot 5K keep the calendar busy.
Riders get a compact but useful scene here, with 30 tracked Hagerstown routes adding up to 1,388 km. One route covers 5 km with 193 m of ascent, so it works for short intervals or a quick after-work spin. Another route covers 3 km and climbs 1,837 m, so that is the gran fondo-style day. One route covers 2 km with 309 m of ascent. The climbs are in those longer rolling routes. The 2026 Mid-Atlantic Regional Criterium Championships p/b ENVE is the anchor crit, and Hagerstown Sprint & Youth Triathlon adds a multisport target.
The source brief does not name best months, summer heat, or winter conditions, so locals keep the season call practical. Summer runners in the brief are tied to mornings, with the canal and Fairgrounds Park or Pangborn Park getting sunrise miles. Cyclists can use the canal for easier spinning and the road routes for base miles, intervals, or a hard crit tune-up. Winter details are not listed, so the honest move is to stay flexible and lean on the same reliable pieces. The canal, roads, sidewalks, parks, and AT still define the choice for both sports when conditions change.
