Bridge Day 5K RUN

The Bridge Day 5K RUN is a 5K race across the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia, limited to 500 participants. It begins on the north side of the bridge in the morning. As it is connected to Bridge Day, road closures are strict, requiring all participants to run the course; walking is not permitted. The route proceeds south over the bridge, offering expansive views into the gorge, and concludes on Court Street in Fayetteville. Active SWV manages the race, with sponsorship from West Virginia University Institute of Technology. Participants aged 8 to 100 are welcome. Following the race, participants can join the Official Bridge Day festivities in Fayetteville, integrating the run into a broader town and bridge event.
