Ogden Newspapers Half Marathon Classic
(Redirected from Ogden Newspapers 20K)
The Ogden Newspapers Half Marathon Classic, formerly known as the Ogden Newspapers 20K is a series of races held each May in Wheeling, West Virginia. Winners have included: Caroline Rotich, Augustus Mbusya Kavutu, Jemima Sumgong and Rolando Vera. The distance changed in 2011 due to declining numbers.[1]
The race's course, which runs through the Ohio Valley is often referred to as the "Toughest Half Marathon in America" due to its changes in elevation.[2]
Established in 1977, the competition hosted the men's national championship race from 1985 to 1992.[3]
