Run To Read Half Marathon

Run as a benefit for the local nonprofit organization Literacy Volunteers of Marion County, the Run To Read Half Marathon takes the nearly 200 runners who show up each year along the winding trails of Prickett's Fort State Park, which lies just a few miles away from nearby Fairmont at the confluence of the Monongahela River and Prickett's Creek. Made up of a combination of blacktop roads and crushed limestone trail along the river, the course offers ample scenery along with mostly flat terrain.
