Harpers Ferry Half Marathon & 5K

The Harper’s Ferry Half & 5k was a vision of locals as a way to showcase the beautiful landscape of our region while highlighting the rich history surrounding it. The Harpers Ferry Half races take you to scenic overlooks, through a historic Down Town where civil war ruins stand as a reminder of America’s history, up (a few hills) passing historical homes to a view overlooking the beautiful town nestled between two rivers.

The Half Marathon is a challenging and hilly course covering the expanse on Harpers Ferry National Historical Park and the Civil War era towns connecting them. Experience expansive views of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers while you enjoy a loop through Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, Murphy Farm, Lower Town Harpers Ferry, John Brown’s Fort, Bolivar, Storer College, and the homes taking you back to the 1860’s. Our 5K event is a mix of trail and includes an out and back to a beautiful over look on the Murphy Farm Loop, a portion of Harpers Ferry National Park. Our Kids Event will be on site at River Riders and School House Ridge South.
