Star City Riverfront Pavilion along the Caperton Rail Trail
COURSE: All races are on a pancake flat paved road and trail and crushed gravel trail. Traffic control is provided by the Star City Police Department and other area volunteers. The 10K course begins in the parking lot adjacent to the Star City Park Pavilion, progressing by 84 Lumber and onto the Caperton Rail Trail heading north towards Pennsylvania. The 10K proceeds 3.1 miles up the trail to the turn around point and then back to the Star City Park to the finish line. Water stops are located at the 1.5, 3.1, and 4.7 mile markers. The 5K Race and 5K Walk follow the same course as the 10K course with a turn around and water stop at the 1.5 mile mark.
RACE HISTORY: This race is the fourth for the WVU women of Alpha Phi. They hope to make it a long-standing tradition for the Morgantown community. All proceeds from this race will benefit the national Alpha Phi Foundation and Monongalia General Hospital women's education program, with emphasis on Heart Health. The Alpha Phi Foundation has supported women's cardiac care programs and initiatives for the past 50 years. There is growing awareness in the general population that two out of five women die from heart disease - Alpha Phi is committed to ending this statistic.
