Gare di 5K vicino a Mullens

The 2nd Annual Salute to Service 5k is a 5 km run/walk in Athens, West Virginia, starting from 1000 Vermillion Street. It benefits Concord University’s Office of Veteran Services, with funds supporting veterans at Concord and their dependents. The event is a straightforward community 5k, not a large festival race. The entry fee is $20, the race occurs in the morning, and participants receive a T-shirt. The cause is as significant as the distance, appealing to walkers, casual runners, students, staff, local supporters, and anyone seeking a short race directly supporting veteran services on campus.

The Pipestem Pumpkin Run is a Pumpkin/Halloween-themed race day at Pipestem Resort State Park, 18 miles north of Princeton, West Virginia, on Route 20. The program offers a 10K, a 5K, a 5K walk, and a free kids or fun run option. This event marks its 50th anniversary. Awards are given to the top three men and women overall, the top three in 5K and 10K age groups from 11-and-under through 70-plus, and the top five overall in the 5K walk. The 10K starts at the Amphitheater parking lot, passes the Splash Park, goes through Cottage Area C, turns around just past Bolar Observation Tower, and returns to the same start area. The 5K and 5K walk also start at the Amphitheater parking lot, use the main road, turn around just past the Superintendent’s residence, and finish back where they began. A costume contest, judged shortly after the race starts, is part of the Halloween theme. First place wins a one-night stay at McKeever Lodge, with prizes for second and third. Kids Run participants all receive prizes. T-shirts are limited to the first 80 registered runners and are not offered for the Kids Run or Fun Run.
