Union Half Marathon

The 8th Annual Union Half Marathon and Relay will start at the Visitor Center in Big Stone Gap, VA. The course will utilize the paved Greenbelt Trail in Big Stone and then unite with the Powell River Trail in Appalachia, VA. Participants will be able to go through the two old train tunnels that make up the Powell River Trail. All completing participants will receive a unique finisher’s medal and a race t-shirt.  Can’t run a full half marathon?  That is fine, get teammates and run the course as a relay team.  

Participants can register to run in-person or virtually - the same price.   If the live event is canceled, all runners will be moved to virtual and still receive all medals and shirts associated with the race.  No refunds.

The Union Half marathon is a USATF Certified Course and a member of the SFTC Long Distance Series.

Electronic timing and professional race management provided by We Run Events. Run two great trails while supporting Union Cross Country and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
