As our local runners are aware - one of the bridges at Ritter Park has been under construction since July. It will not be complete/passable by race day.

We’ve been working with a course certifier since the summer months to update our courses and that process is almost complete! Measurements, in fact, have been completed - and the marathon course will remain a Boston Qualifier!

For the most part, the course will be mostly the same. Once we finalize a few minor tweaks/calculations - we will share a brand new course map we’ve designed! We hope to have this posted by the end of this upcoming week.

In the meantime, here is your new start line (about 100 feet back from our previous course). AND we will be finishing on the 50 yard line (we did this so our staff, volunteers, and runners had more room upon finishing - instead of being congested in the end zone).

We are less than a month out! Who is getting excited?!

Think you’ve got what it takes to make Marshall University Marathon history?

This year, we’re offering $500 for any new course record - that means up to $2,000 could be awarded if all four course records are broken.

If multiple runners break the same record during the race, the bonus will go to the overall winner of that event.

Who’s ready to put their name in the record books? The challenge is there. Let’s set some new records!

We are excited to share the medal design for this year’s Thundering Feud Challenge!

Anyone who runs both the Marshall University Marathon (Full or Half) and the Hatfield McCoy Marathon (Full or Half) will earn one of these medals on our race day!

From our buddies at Marshall University Marathon!

"West Virginia has some amazing races and we are honored to partner up with The Hatfield McCoy Marathon to create The Thundering Feud Challenge!

Anyone who finishes both races listed below (either the Marathon or Half Marathon distance) will earn an additional medal!

There will be no awards - this is simply a completion challenge to earn an extra medal (presented to you after you finish Marshall).

The medal must be collected on race day - no shipping of medal will be offered.
