Cecil Jarvis Greater Clarksburg 10K

Lace up for a milestone event at the Cecil Jarvis Greater Clarksburg 10K, celebrating its 30th anniversary on June 27, 2026, in scenic Veterans Memorial Park, Clarksburg, WV. This celebrated race offers both a challenging 6.2-mile (10K) and an engaging 3.1-mile (5K) course, known as the 3rd Annual Georgia Hatfield 5K Race, appealing to a wide range of runners. Starting and finishing near the Freedom Shelter, the 10K takes runners on a journey along the park trail before heading onto the flatter Harrison Rail Trail for a significant portion, making for a less hilly experience than previous downtown routes. The 5K navigates two loops around the picturesque park trail, ensuring a scenic and enjoyable run for all.

Steeped in history, this event was once rated the second-best 10K in the country and featured on ESPN's "Running and Racing" due to its ability to attract world-class athletes. Named in honor of Cecil Jarvis, a dedicated athlete and community advocate who embodied a "smile every mile," the race continues his legacy of promoting health and wellness. Race day typically brings highs around 85F and lows around 63F, with a 20% chance of precipitation. Runners can also enjoy pre- and post-race massages and participate in a friendly team competition. Beyond the finish line, your participation makes a real difference, as a portion of all race entries supports the Mountaineer Food Bank for Harrison County School Students, adding a layer of purpose to every stride.
