Active SWV Bridge day 5k run
The Active SWV Bridge Day 5K RUN starts on the New River Gorge Bridge and finishes in downtown Fayetteville, WV. The start line adrenaline is amplified by the stunning views of the New River Gorge! Proceeds benefit free Kids Run Clubs in the New River Gorge Region.
Into the Gorge
Take an exclusive ride down Fayette Station Road to the historic Tunney Hunsaker Bridge to get a view of the base jumpers and rappellers from ground level while riverside. Be sure to bring your camera for some amazing shots, water and a small snack with you because there are not any food vendors at the bottom.
Rappelling & High Line
If walking across the bridge isn’t extreme enough, consider rappelling or the high line.
Those with experience can sign up for rappelling as an individual or a team.
Those without experience can always do the high line.
Bridge Walk
A unique experience and view all in one, Bridge Walk offers guided tours of the New River Gorge Bridge from the catwalk 25’ beneath the Bridge.
The catwalk is 24″ wide with a substantial railing. Before beginning the tour, guests are securely fastened onto a safety cable making it impossible to fall from the Bridge during a tour. The Bridge Walk guests walk the entire 3,030 foot length of the Bridge* and then are shuttled back to the Bridge Walk headquarters. Bridge tours move along at a leisurely pace and there is plenty of time to stop for photos, and to discuss features of the Bridge, New River Gorge and National Park with your guide.
*During Bridge Day, guests will walk to the halfway point and return.
Whitewater Rafting
See the BASE action from the river and experience the thrill of class IV whitewater! Although the Gauley River typically steals the show in the fall, the New River offers one of the best views of the BASE jumpers while fulfilling your own adrenaline rush. Most rafting companies offer special Bridge Day deals, so catch them while you can!
BASE
The highlight of the day for many is watching the skilled BASE jumpers take a leap of faith off the New River Gorge Bridge. For those of you bold and daring enough there are even a limited amount of tandem tickets available!
