Our primary goal as a race committee is to make the Roanoke Canal Half Marathon one of the premier Half Marathons in the southeast, by bringing in runners from North Carolina and Virginia and giving them a unique first class experience.
Local Endorsements: The Roanoke Canal Half Marathon & 8k is endorsed by both the Halifax County Conversion and Visitors Bureau, and the RR Parks and Recreation. To read more, click the endorsement letter to sponsors to the right.Proceeds: Proceeds from the race stay local and benefit the Friends of the Roanoke Canal Museum & Trail. With your help we can increase runner registrations, and therefore increase the contribution
Sponsorships: The Tar River Running Company is looking to the local community to help sponsor this inaugural race. We are requesting small contributions in hopes to get the entire community involved. We are not simply looking for a handout that you will see no benefit from. Our hope is you will look at this opportunity as affordable and effective advertising. We will do everything possible to expose your company to the participants of the races.
