MRTC Rail-Trail Events

0380The Mon River Trails Conservancy hosts three events each year as fund-raisers for the rail-trail. These are the Blue Jean Ball, co-hosted with the WV Land Trust in March, the MRTC Handmade Market in April, and the Deckers Creek Trail Half Marathon / Trail Mix Festival in June. Other fund-raising events may happen based on interest and opportunity.

Rail-Trail Walks, Runs, and Cycling events (not hosted by MRTC)

The rail-trails are community gathering places for many fund-raisers for community causes. All year, there are walks and runs taking place on the Mon River / Caperton / Deckers Creek Trail system. Though not guaranteed to be a complete list, many groups advertise their regional events at www.iplayoutside.com

 

In addition there are several active groups that promote group rides and runs

How to Plan an Event on the Rail-Trail

If you are wanting to schedule an event on the trail, email info@boparc.org and BOPARC staff can direct you.    Rental fees at trail-neighboring parks will vary based on location.

We always appreciate a donation to MRTC for use of the rail-trail as we are a small non-profit managing the local rail-trails.
