Covered Bridge Festival 5K 2026

The Covered Bridge Festival 5K is a run and walk in Barrackville, West Virginia, held as part of the annual Barrackville Covered Bridge Festival. Race activities start at 7 a.m., and the 5K offers participants a straightforward festival-morning route through town, distinct from a large-city race. The 5K concludes at Barrackville’s covered bridge, the landmark central to the festival. A 1-mile walk is available for those seeking a shorter distance, and younger children have their own sprint from Town Hall to the school. Registration is low-cost, event shirts are sold separately, and parking is available around the Community Hall, local church lots, and the Dollar General lot.
