Flint Run rises in Doddridge County near its boundary with Harrison County, approximately 1.9 miles (3.1 km) east of the unincorporated community of Doak, and flows generally northwestward through northern Doddridge County, through Doak and the unincorporated community of Flint. It flows into McElroy Creek from the south on the boundary of Doddridge and Tyler counties, approximately 0.5 miles (0.80 km) east of Little Pittsburg.
