Lace up your running shoes or grab your walking companions for the 20th Annual Celtic Knot 5K Fun Run/Walk, taking place on Saturday, March 14, 2026, in the charming streets of downtown Lewisburg, West Virginia. This festive event kicks off at 10:00 AM, with check-in and day-of registration beginning at 8:30 AM at the High Rocks Hub Café, located at 232 N. Lee Street Building C. Runners and walkers will enjoy a generally flat, paved course winding through the scenic heart of Lewisburg, making it suitable for all abilities. Typical race day conditions in mid-March often bring highs around 52F and lows around 28F, with a modest 15% chance of precipitation, providing invigorating weather for a run or brisk walk.

More than just a race, the Celtic Knot 5K is a vibrant community celebration, encouraging participants to embrace the fun by dressing in costumes and forming race teams. Leashed dogs are also welcome to join in on the festivities. As an added perk, registered participants receive a 10% discount at the High Rocks Hub Café. A unique aspect of this event is its commitment to sustainability, offering an e-recycling drive on race day where you can bring old electronics for responsible disposal. Proceeds from the Celtic Knot 5K directly benefit High Rocks Educational Corporation, an organization dedicated to educating, empowering, and inspiring young people across West Virginia.

Whether you're aiming for a new personal best or simply want to enjoy a lively morning out, this race promises a rewarding experience. It's a cherished annual event with a reputation for being "amazing" according to past participants. Join the Lewisburg community for a memorable 5K that blends fitness, fun, and a meaningful cause.
