GREAT GREENBRIER RIVER RACE is an annual
event held the last Saturday
in April each year. With great prizes, live music and good food,
the event attracts a loyal following of racers and fans.
Originally a team event with four members,
canoeists, bicyclist and runner, the race has now attracted many people
who do it solo. But there is still room for the whole family or the family
dog on a team! Kayaks and canoes are both encouraged and many categories
encourage prizes for many racers.
Proceeds from entry fees and our generous
sponsors allow the trail
association to sponsor various projects to improve
and promote the trail.
The Great Greenbrier River Race is set for April 24, 2010. The course will be the same, starting in Marlinton and ending at the city park with great prizes, live music and fun for all.
