Course and logistics
All courses run on the C&O Canal path, a light gravel dirt trail with minimal elevation change and out-and-back routing. The half course is two out-and-backs. The event is chip timed; finishers receive a medal and a technical drifit shirt. Water and Gatorade: seven stations on the half at approximately miles 1.55, 3.8, 4.3, 6.55, 8.8, 9.3 and 11.55, and one station on the 5k at about mile 1.55. Portable restrooms are available near the Georgetown check-in area; indoor restrooms are available near Fletcher’s registration area. There is no official bag check; items may be left at the timing tent at the owner’s risk. Packet pickup is available at the event and on-site race registration is not offered. Live results are posted on Athlinks and final results with series points are posted the Monday after the race. Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to first and second in standard age groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
