About the WVU IFC 5k
The course runs on the Rail Trail near downtown Morgantown, which means a paved, relatively flat surface with a clear out-and-back shape. The surrounding area has the kind of open, easy feel you get on a converted rail corridor, with room to spread out and find your pace.
The race benefits Stepping Stones, a local nonprofit supporting people with special needs through recreational programs. That context tends to draw a crowd that is genuinely rooting for everyone on the course, which sets a particular tone at the start and finish.
