The Roanoke Canal 5k is a trail race that follows the Roanoke Canal, which was built in 1823. Help us celebrate the fascinating history of the trail!  A Half Mile Fun Walk will be set up as well. Money raised at the event will go towards replacing the batteau exhibit at the Roanoke Canal Museum.  Batteaux were boats specifically designed to haul cargo up and down narrow canals in the 1800s.  We have two replicas on site that are in need of replacement.  Authentic batteau replicas are custom made and expensive to acquire.  Proceeds from this race will go towards other fundraising efforts to replace the aging batteaux.
