Parks Half Marathon
The Parks Half Marathon takes place in Rockville, Maryland, offering a point-to-point route through the local landscape. The event starts at the Metro Overpass at the corner of Redland Road and Somerville Drive. The course begins on a Montgomery County road before transitioning into a tour of Rock Creek Park.
Participants run under tree cover as the sun rises, following a path through natural surroundings. The event features a single distance:
- 13.1 miles
The course is equipped with mile markers to assist runners with tracking their progress. A pace team is available on-site to help participants maintain specific speed goals. Hydration stations staffed by volunteers are positioned at intervals along the route to provide water and support.
Photographers are stationed at various points along the course to capture the event. These high-quality race photos are provided to participants at no additional cost. The event concludes with a Finish Festival where runners can gather after completing the distance. Registration is available for both general participants and invited runners, with the general registration period opening months in advance of the race date.
