PARKERSBURG — Hundreds of runners and walkers lined up in downtown Parkersburg on Saturday morning for the annual Parkersburg News and Sentinel Half-Marathon, a tradition that continues to bring together athletes, volunteers and the community.
This year’s half-marathon also doubled as the West Virginia Road Runners Club of America 2025 championship race.
Along the route, volunteers in color-coded shirts were stationed to provide assistance — yellow for bicycle patrol, red for medical personnel and blue for general support.
