Half Donkey (Half/10k/5k)
Half Donkey takes place on March 6, 2027, at Jones Point Park in Alexandria, Virginia. The event offers three running distances:
- 13.1 Miles, Half Donkey
- 6.2 Miles, Half Donkey 10k
- 3.1 Miles, Half Donkey 5k
All courses start and finish at Jones Point Park under the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and run out and back on the paved Mount Vernon Trail beside the Potomac. The route is described as flat and runs along the river for much of the way. There are no road closures and no traffic crossings on the course.
After finishing, runners collect a finisher medal and can walk about one mile north into Old Town, where an afternoon St. Patrick's Day parade takes place. Starts are staggered so each distance finishes before the parade.
Each entry includes a race shirt, a finisher medal, chip timing and results, aid stations on the trail, and live tracking via Geo.Racing. Awards are given to the top three men and women at each distance. Walkers are welcome at every distance. Parking at Jones Point Park is limited and Old Town fills early on parade day. The trail remains open to other users; participants should keep right and pass on the left.
