IMPORTANT LOCATION INFORMATION: We are tentatively approved to return to the traditional course near the newly remodeled Depot & Tunnel area on East Church & Railroad Streets. However, if Tunnel repairs are not completed as scheduled, we will once again hold the race at Barnesville High School. We will know something more definitive by May 1st. Please keep an eye on for info on the website, emails and on our Facebook Page for updated info as race week approaches!! 

We offer more trophies (nearly150!) in more divisions (including a Masters division in both the Run and Walk, a unique Dog-Walking Division, a Hand Cyclist/Wheelchair Division and scores of Age Groups) than most 5k's of this size that you will find most anywhere! These unique, beautifully hand-crafted trophies, featuring an authentic railroad spike, were once mentioned in Runner's World magazine and are highly sought-after!

We also have a HUGE smorgasbord of delicious food including pizza, our homemade Carlito's subs, deli-fresh sandwiches, Donley's Delicious Delights homemade cookies, and Jessica's famous pasta salad! If you leave this race hungry, it's your own fault!

We also collect lots of door prizes! With approximately 200 participants, your odds of winning a trophy or a door prize are pretty good!

The first 200 registrants receive are guaranteed a Tech shirt. Sizes only guaranteed to Early Bird preregistered; after that, it's 1st come, 1st serve so register early! Shirts can be reordered if registration numbers dictate.

Parents, stick around after the 5k for the Kids Fun Run. All kids win a trophy! Kids run in waves, from oldest to youngest and are greeted at the Finish Line by Spike, the Wheeling Nailers Mascot!
