80 miles may seem like a long way, but the miles just fly by when you are immersed in nature as only the Greenbrier River Trail can bring it to you.

We are glad you stopped by to get more information about the trail, or to get race results from our big fundraiser. We have been called West Virginia’s premier rail to trail conversion and we hope you will visit the trail soon and see why!

We exclusively offer a traditional two week program; campers arrive and depart together,
enabling them to form lasting friendships.

2002 Greenbrier River Race Winners the Haights

The Greenbrier River was plenty high for the boat leg of the race. The water was clear and judging from the exclamations of the dunked rather cool.  Winning time was 1 hour 22 minutes 52 seconds.

Running to canoes and kayaks for the first leg  of the race at the bridge at Marlinton.

The first two boats to arrive at Buckeye were kayaks. As the boats came in volunteers helped them by dragging the canoes and kayaks from the river onto the bank so that racers could run to the trail to hand off their entry tag to the biker of the team.

Action from the 2000 Greenbrier River race

The best time for the canoe/kayak leg was 36 minutes 5 seconds by Horizon Line River Club who ended up finishing 25th.
The bikers had to ride to Seebert and back to Buckeye and then hand the entry tag to the runner.
Father Son and Holey Boat (the winners) had the best time in the biking leg with a time of 25 minutes 34 seconds.

Back in Marlinton at Stillwell Park, the runner for team #143 crosses the finish line.

The best time for the running leg was turned in by Bill Carney, 15 minutes 58 seconds. Bill finished 4th over all, but he did all 3 legs himself, an impressive feat.
