2027 St. Patrick’s Half & Full Marathon
The event takes place in Georgetown near the Nation's Capital and runs along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path. The course is described as scenic and flat. Walkers are welcome.
Distances offered:
- Half marathon: out and back on a light gravel road with minimal elevation change.
- Full marathon: two out and back laps along the C&O Canal path; this is a Boston qualifying full marathon with a six hour time limit.
Runners receive a finisher’s medal, a technical DriFit event shirt, and chip timing. There are 14 water stations on the marathon course and 7 on the half marathon course at specified mile markers; Gatorade is available at some stations. Live race results will be posted on Athlinks and via an on-course QR code; final results with series points are posted after the event.
Points from the races count toward the Year-Long Endurance and Back of the Pack Series and toward the Winter Series. A virtual race option is available. Packet pickup is available at the event; there is no on-site race day registration. Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to first and second in standard age categories. The race benefits Semper Fi & America’s Fund and operates in most weather conditions, though officials may delay or cancel if necessary.
