A Race Through History

The Harper's Ferry Half & 5k was a vision of locals as a way to showcase the beautiful landscape of our region while highlighting the rich history surrounding it. The Harpers Ferry Half races take you to scenic overlooks, through a historic Down Town where civil war ruins stand as a reminder of America's history, up (a few hills) passing historical homes to a view overlooking the beautiful town nestled between two rivers.
