About the race

The event offers two running distances along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path in Georgetown, Washington DC. Both courses are out-and-back routes on a light gravel dirt road with minimal elevation change.

Distances

• Half marathon

Points from this event count toward the Year-Long 5k, Endurance, and Back of the Pack Series, and they also count toward the Spring Series. A virtual race option is available for participants who cannot attend in person. Walkers are welcome.

Runners receive a finisher's medal, a technical (DriFit) event shirt, and chip timing. T-shirts are guaranteed for entries completed before June 2; additional shirts may be available afterward on a first-come first-served basis. The half marathon has a 3 hour 15 minute completion limit.
