Hatfield-McCoy Marathon in Williamson

Hatfield-McCoy Marathon

Races: Marathon, Half Marathon

The Hatfield-McCoy Marathon has something for everyone, from 26.2 and 13.1 mile runs to our kid's Once Around The Block Mini Marathon. The race begins in Eastern Pike County, KY in a small area known as Goody, KY on the parking lot of one of our sponsors, Food City Food Stores. We run a scenic course that will surprise you. There is one hill between miles 6 & 7 while the rest of the course is flat to rolling and runs on the roads that follow the creeks and rivers. Both finish lines are in West Virginia. The half-marathon ends in historic Matewan, WV and the marathon in Williamson, WV at the World Famous Coal House. In the past 5 years we have had runners from all across the USA and around the world participate. We expect between 300 & 500 runners this year.

The Hatfield-McCoy Marathon is part of the Hatfield-McCoy Reunion Festival which will be held June 9, 10, 11, & 12th, 2005. Proceeds from this race go to support TVRRC children's running programs and scholarship funds. The two best ways to get here are US 119 and US 52. Hotel rooms are available but they fill up fast. There will be a pasta dinner available at the Brass Tree Restaurant on June 10th at 6:00PM. And there will be a post-race Pig Fest with music and Pig fixed just about any way you'd want it.
