Hello 2023 Hatfield McCoy Marathon participants!
We are happy to open this year’s registration with a few continued changes for the 2023 race. Here are some changes we are keeping to make this year’s race a blast for everyone!
· We decided to remove the Double Half Marathon. The logistics for the race have been difficult for us to keep up with especially with timing. We believe this will be easier for everyone to choose between the marathon, the half marathons, and 5k races.
· We are not going to have virtual options for the 2023 race. Last year’s event went smoothly and safely for all participants. We will still follow the Covid-19 guidelines. If anything happens relating to an outbreak again in 2023, we will keep you informed of any changes.
· The race and our volunteers will continue to work together to make this the best experience worthwhile for everyone.
· If you have any questions, please contact us at tvrrc@yahoo.com, our facebook page, @hatfieldmccoymarathon, and our website, https://hatfieldmccoymarathontvrrc.com/
Thank you!
We will see you on June 10, 2023!
