Prepare for an unparalleled "racecation" experience at the Greenbrier Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K, set for May 9, 2026, in the historic and luxurious White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. This unique event, returning for its ninth year, invites runners to traverse the exquisite 11,000-acre grounds of the world-renowned Greenbrier Resort. Known for hosting presidents, royalty, and celebrities, the resort provides a breathtaking backdrop for your race. Typical race day conditions in early May feature pleasant highs around 72F and comfortable lows near 46F, with only a 20% chance of precipitation, promising ideal running weather.

The course itself is a highlight, offering a picturesque journey across some of the country's most celebrated golf courses, alongside pristine creeks, and with sweeping views of the majestic Allegheny Mountains. Participants can expect a course with minimal elevation gain, often described as enjoyable rolling hills, making it accessible while still providing a satisfying challenge. While primarily paved, some sections may include paved golf paths, dirt, gravel, or grass. Aid stations are strategically placed approximately every 1.5 to 2.5 miles, well-stocked with water and sports drinks to keep you hydrated. A standout feature for runners is the convenient access to golf course restrooms along the route.

Starting and finishing near The Greenbrier Tennis Club & Fitness Center, the Greenbrier Half Marathon provides a truly distinctive luxury race. Runners consistently praise the event for its stunning scenery and well-organized atmosphere. Beyond the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a well-deserved finisher medal and partake in the post-race party, with resort guests enjoying a short, scenic walk back to their accommodations. Non-resort guests will utilize convenient shuttle services from the Train Lot to the start/finish area. This race promises not just a run, but a memorable escape into luxury and natural beauty.
