Highlands Trail Foundation:Working to create, support, and advance the Allegheny Highlands Trail system in the Potomac Highlands Region of West Virginia.
The Highlands Trail Foundation (HTF) is dedicated to developing and maintaining recreational trails in the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia. Our primary focus is on the Allegheny Highlands Trail (AHT), a scenic rail trail that stretches across Randolph and Tucker counties. Whether you’re an avid cyclist, a trail runner, or simply enjoy the beauty of West Virginia’s outdoors, our mission is to offer sustainable trails and meaningful outdoor experiences for all.
We host several exciting events throughout the year to showcase the Allegheny Highlands Trail and support our mission. From the popular Blackwater Canyon Half Marathon to the Tygart Valley Half Marathon and the annual Ramps and Rail Festival, there are plenty of ways to get involved, meet fellow trail enthusiasts, and enjoy the beauty of West Virginia.
Whoever you choose to celebrate with, make sure you sign up soon! PRICE INCREASE goes into effect on Wednesday & it’s looking likely the race will fill up too!
And if you don’t have a race buddy, know that we are here to celebrate with you!

The Black-Hel double has become a popular test of strength & determination AND a way to run-explore three great WV towns in one solid weekend. Start in #thomaswv and self-ambulate down to #parsonswv, the county seat of #tuckercounty on Saturday. Then you can head to the Swiss Village of #helvetiawv to enjoy their town fair, dancing, food, and a 10k road race so rugged it passes as a trail event — for 26 years now!
Embrace the “because I can” mentality and take on this challenge for a special prize and eternal bragging rights, and the great satisfaction that comes from doing a fun adventure alongside others!
No additional purchase necessary; just sign up for both races and we’ll take it from there!

We are a cupless race which, funny enough, doesn’t mean that we don’t have cups. It just means that we don’t put any cups in the trash! 🚮 ♻️ Bring your own or start your collection of reusable cups here. Once you have one they are multi-purpose and last for years!
What else do you use your cups for?
