2027 DC New Year's 5k and 10k
Bishops Events presents an in-person 5k and 10k on January 1, 2027 in Georgetown (3530 Water St NW, Washington, DC). The event awards series points that count toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k and Back of the Pack Series as well as a Winter Series.
The course runs along the C&O Canal on a light gravel dirt road with minimal elevation change and is set up as an out-and-back route. Walkers and strollers are welcome. A virtual race option is available for participants who cannot attend on race day.
Participants receive a finisher's medal, a technical Drifit event shirt when registered by the stated deadline, and chip timing. Packet pickup is available at the event and there is no on-site race registration. Live race results are posted via an online results service and a QR code will allow immediate viewing at the race; final results with series points are posted the Monday after the event.
Water stations are provided: three along the 10k at approximately mile markers 1.55, 3.1, and 4.6, and one on the 5k at about mile 1.5; Gatorade is available at some stations. Port-a-johns are located near the check-in area. Awards include top three men and women overall and age group prizes across standard age divisions. The race benefits City Dogs and City Kitties Rescue. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
