Highlands Trail Foundation:Working to create, support, and advance the Allegheny Highlands Trail system in the Potomac Highlands Region of West Virginia.
The Highlands Trail Foundation (HTF) is dedicated to developing and maintaining recreational trails in the Potomac Highlands of West Virginia. Our primary focus is on the Allegheny Highlands Trail (AHT), a scenic rail trail that stretches across Randolph and Tucker counties. Whether you’re an avid cyclist, a trail runner, or simply enjoy the beauty of West Virginia’s outdoors, our mission is to offer sustainable trails and meaningful outdoor experiences for all.
We host several exciting events throughout the year to showcase the Allegheny Highlands Trail and support our mission. From the popular Blackwater Canyon Half Marathon to the annual Ramps and Rail Festival, there are plenty of ways to get involved, meet fellow trail enthusiasts, and enjoy the beauty of West Virginia.

Award mugs go to the overall winners of the Blackwater Canton Half plus three deep in each 10 year age group. Like our medals and basket awards, the mugs are made here in West Virginia. They’re beautiful and if you want more from Brass Bell Pottery, her work is featured at Tamarack Marketplace 💙💛#highlandstrailfoundation #blackwatercanyonhalfmarathon ##raceawards
