Mrs. West Virginia Takes On 5K To Represent Mountain State and WVU Medicine
LACY FERGUSON
WHEELING — Mrs. West Virginia 2025 Lacy Ferguson decided this year to take on the Ogden 5K Run, presented by WVU Medicine Children’s.
Ferguson was named Mrs. West Virginia in March and will compete in the Mrs. America pageant in August. Ferguson said 2025 marks her 10th year competing in pageants and she is excited and honored to represent West Virginia.
In addition to being Mrs. West Virginia, Ferguson works as a cardiac cath lab nurse at WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital.
“I really wanted to help represent WVU Medicine as well as A Special Wish Ohio Valley,” she said.
A Special Wish Ohio Valley is a nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to granting the wishes of children under the age of 21 who have been diagnosed with a life-threatening disorder.
Ferguson added that, although A Special Wish Ohio Valley isn’t directly involved in the Ogden Newspapers Wellness Weekend presented by WVU Medicine, she wants to run in support of the organization.
She said that this was her first time competing during the weekend, and is excited to represent her place of work.
“Knowing that it’s with WVU Medicine, I really wanted to help represent WVU Medicine Children’s,” she said.
PHILIPPI, W.Va (WDTV) – The West Virginia Mountain Bike Association kicked off its cross country series Sunday with the Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi.
The event had options for all skill levels. Bikers had the choice to race 6 miles, 14 miles, or 19 miles.
Each race had a mix of straight track biking, and twisting and climbing through the woods. Bikers of all ages could participate, and each age group had its own race and results.
“I really do think that trails build community, and if you can get outdoor activity where people can come out and hike and bike,” said George Finly, a mountain biker and trail volunteer. “This is as much as a hiking trail as it is a biking trail. It’s right along the river, which is beautiful. Eagles were flying back and forth yesterday, and today is great because we’ve got a lot of kids out here.”
The next WVMBA cross country mountain bike race will be April 19 in Buckhannon.
