New River Gorge Virtual 10K FAQs

Due to circumstances around Covid-19, Active SWV made the decision to defer the Inaugural New River Gorge Rim to Rim 10K to 2021. In lieu of that event, we are hosting the New River Gorge VIRTUAL 10K with a walk and a run option. Funds raised will support free youth running programs in southern West Virginia. Participants will have 20 days to complete the 10K. You can run, jog, skip, walk, or any combination between June 1 – June 20. We will celebrate everyone who participates on June 20th – West Virginia day! Top finishers will be announced on June 20th, and participant gifts will be mailed by July 1st.
