Welcome to HealthyHuntington.org. We hope everyone involved had a great time at the triathlon and the marathon in 2009 and look for even better events in 2010. CLICK HERE RESULTS FOR THE 2009 MARATHON.
If you would like to see this years marathon map please click here. There is a minor variation on the course in that it does not have the out and back section off of Madison Avenue now. I will try to update this in the future with a new map.
See below for details on a community wide challenge for fitness: the C4! That stands for the Corporate and Community Challenge Cup.
7th ANNUAL MARSHALL UNIVERSITY MARATHON and THE HERALD DISPATCH HALF MARATHON
Sunday November 7th, 2010
Check out the new Armed Forces Division of the race with special military pricing.
NEW COMPETITION: THE C4
Teams will compete for points in 3 competitions in 2010: The Roger Kyle Memorial 10 mile trail run and 5k walk on June 5th, The TriState Triathlon on August 1st and the Marshall University Marathon event including the Herald Dispatch Half Marathon on November 7th. Teams are made up of NON-athletic organizations. Basically we want everyone to take part but don’t want the “track club” or the “swim team” to form teams just by themselves. Yet members of those teams can join other teams, such as a church team or a local business.Points received will be as follows.10 mile trail run finisher 2 points ; 5k trail walk 1 point ; Triathlon Finishers – 2 points; Duathlon - 2 points; Triathlon Relay – 1 point per participant (maximum 3 therefore for a relay team)Marathon – 2 points; Half-marathon – 2 points; Half-marathon relay 1 point per participant of a finishing team (max 3 points again); 5 mile Walkers – half point each (half-marathon walkers receive 2 points as above); BONUS POINTS – if you place in the top 3 of your age group you receive 2 extra points for your team. Note – if you want to have a relay team for your organization but cannot find a swimmer for example in your organization, you can have someone from the outside of your group swim and therefore you would receive 2 points for the relay finish; etc. PRIZES – the top 3 organizations in the C4 challenge will receive recognition in the Herald Dispatch as well as a wall plaque. The bragging rights here is priceless.
THE ROGER KYLE MEMORIAL 10 MILE TRAIL RUN Saturday June 5th, 2010

This was a very successful event and it will probably be held on the first or second Saturday of June each year.
