Moonlight on the Falls Marathon

Blackwater Falls State Park in Tucker County hosts this race, designed as a "true destination experience." The event seeks to offer a "festival-like atmosphere" for all participants, extending beyond a simple run. It presents a chance to run under the moonlight and escape the summer heat. The Moonlight on the Falls Marathon features several distances: a marathon, half marathon, and quarter marathon, plus a distance challenge. Participants can enjoy the distinct experience of racing through the park after dark, taking advantage of the cooler evening temperatures. This enables runners to bypass the daytime heat while completing their chosen distance.
