The Blackwater Adventure Rally, an Elkins-Randolph County Chamber Partner, is in town, and we couldn’t resist sharing this incredible snapshot of just how far its riders and vendors have traveled to be here!

📍 Riders have traveled from all across the United States, including Alaska, and even from England to experience the mountains, roads and communities we get to call home!

Approximately 500 people are here for this year’s rally! One of their vendors is staying at the Tygart Hotel, another Chamber Partner, and shared how much they’re loving their stay. ❤️

Chris, Brandi and the entire Blackwater Adventure Rally crew have shared how appreciative they are of the support they’ve received from our local community, and we are equally excited to welcome them and their guests to Randolph County.

Events like this have such a wonderful impact on our community. These visitors are staying in our hotels, eating in our restaurants, shopping with our businesses, fueling up locally and experiencing everything our beautiful area has to offer.
