The Marathon of Whitewater Rafting

Why run a marathon when you can raft one? On the Gauley River Marathon, you’ll tackle nearly 24 miles of intense whitewater in one epic day. Experience the thrill of the iconic Gauley Season, where the river’s unleashed from behind Summersville Lake, creating world-class rapids. You’ll conquer both the Upper and Lower Gauley in a single run—navigating five Class V rapids on the Upper, three Class V rapids on the Lower, and countless Class III-IV thrills in between. This full-day adventure is packed with adrenaline, breathtaking scenery, and nonstop excitement. Perfect for experienced rafters seeking the ultimate challenge!
