Get ready to experience the thrill of the Chick-Fil-A 10k Road Race and Two-Mile run/walk, set to take place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in scenic Parkersburg, West Virginia. This event offers a 10K run for those seeking a challenge and a two-mile run/walk perfect for all ages and fitness levels. What makes this race truly special is its designation as the RRCA Eastern Regional 10k Championship, drawing enthusiastic runners and fostering a vibrant community atmosphere. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 83°F and lows around 61°F, alongside an 18% chance of precipitation, making for potentially pleasant running weather.
The 10K course is a fully paved, certified, and largely flat two-loop route, designed to help runners achieve their personal bests. It kicks off with a buzz on 20th Street, adjacent to the iconic Parkersburg High School Field House, and culminates in a triumphant finish on the track inside PHS Stadium Field. Along the way, two well-placed water stops ensure runners stay hydrated, with medical personnel readily available at the finish line for safety. For those opting for the shorter two-mile distance, the race shares the same energetic start and finish line, featuring a swift one-loop course with a turnaround on Washington Street.
Beyond the race itself, participants are welcomed by a supportive local community and can look forward to a complimentary lunch provided to all runners and walkers. A portion of the race proceeds also benefits the Dirk Bosgraf Strecker Cancer Center Fund, adding a meaningful cause to your memorable race day experience. This uplifting event truly promotes health, camaraderie, and an active lifestyle, promising a rewarding day in Parkersburg.
