This event takes place at Carderock Recreation Area along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal towpath in Potomac, MD. Both routes run out-and-back on a light gravel dirt trail with minimal elevation gain; the organizer describes the courses as fast and flat. Walkers are welcome and a virtual race option is available for those who cannot attend in person.
Runners receive a finisher’s medal, a technical (Drifit) event shirt, and chip timing. T-shirts are guaranteed for runners registered before November 4; extras may be available afterward on a first-come, first-served basis. Live results are posted on Athlinks and via a QR code at the event; final results with series points are posted the Monday following the race. Runner tracking via SMS is offered when runners opt in during registration.
