Our race was established in 2008. The race will be held on June 25, 2011. Our race is located on and along the Elk River in the heart of Clay County, West Virginia. The race begins and ends at Clay County High School, Clay, WV. The first leg is by boat approximately 5.0 miles and the second leg by bike approximately 15 miles and the third leg by running approx. 3 miles.
Providing a good race means taking the time to listen and if you have any suggestions let us know. We will work with you every step of the way to make sure you have a great time on and along the Elk River. The Elk is the longest river in West Virginia which flows entirely within the state's boundaries. It is formed in the Allegheny Mountains in Pocahontas County by the confluence of two short streams, the Big Spring Fork and the Old Field Fork, which join near the community of Slatyfork. It flows above ground for several miles before it sinks into a network of caverns and flows underground for more than five miles. The old riverbed of solid rock, however, remains above ground in this section known as "The Dries." It follows a generally westward course across the unglaciated Allegheny Plateau, through Randolph, Webster, Braxton, Clay, and Kanawha Counties, past the towns of Webster Springs, Sutton, Gassaway, Clay, Clendenin, and Elkview before joining the Kanawha River at Charleston.  |
