The 2027 DC Mother's Day 5k & 10k takes place on May 9, 2027 in Georgetown at 3530 Water St NW, Washington, DC.

A virtual race option is available for participants who cannot attend in person.
Distances
- 5 km
- 10 km
Both courses run along the C&O Canal on a light gravel dirt road with minimal elevation change; the layout is an out-and-back route. Walkers and strollers are welcome. The event provides chip timing, a finisher’s medal, and a technical Drifit event shirt. T-shirts are guaranteed for runners registered before April 28; additional shirts may be available afterward on a first-come, first-served basis.
Awards include top three men and women overall and first and second place male and female in the following age categories: 1–7, 8–12, 13–19, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, and 70+. For this weekend only, the 5k 19 and under category is expanded into the three youth age groups 1–7, 8–12, and 13–19; this expansion applies to Bishop’s events and not to external timing events.
Course support details: water stations are placed approximately at mile 1.5 on the 5k, and at miles 1.5, 3.1, and 4.65 on the 10k with Gatorade available at some stations. Port‑a‑johns are located near the check-in area. Packet pickup is available at the event and live results will be posted on Athlinks with a QR code at the race for immediate viewing. The event partners with the charity Operation Turbo. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
