Step into the shadows of history and experience one of West Virginia’s most unique running events.
The Dingess Tunnel & Trail 5K takes runners on a journey through the heart of the Appalachian mountains, following the path of the historic Dingess Tunnel, a railroad landmark carved through the rugged hills of southern West Virginia in 1892. Surrounded by towering forests, rich coalfield history, and breathtaking mountain scenery, this race offers far more than just a finish line—it offers an adventure.
Feel the excitement build as you approach the tunnel entrance. Leave the sunlight behind and run through the cool darkness where echoes of the past still linger. Emerging from the tunnel, you’ll be greeted by scenic trails, rolling terrain, and the natural beauty of the Tug Valley region.
Whether you’re chasing a personal record, exploring a hidden piece of West Virginia history, or simply looking for a race unlike any other, the Dingess Tunnel & Trail 5K promises an unforgettable experience.
