About the race
The event offers two distances in Georgetown, Washington DC, along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal path. The half marathon follows an out-and-back route on a light gravel dirt road with minimal elevation change. The full marathon is two out-and-back loops along the same canal path. Walkers are welcome.
Key race services and features include:
- Half marathon
- Full marathon
Runners receive a finisher medal, a technical DriFit event shirt, and chip timing. The full marathon is a Boston qualifying race and has a six hour time limit. A virtual race option is available for those who cannot attend in person.
There are 14 water stations on the full marathon course and 7 on the half marathon course, with Gatorade available at some stations. Port-a-johns are located near the check-in and registration area in Georgetown. There is no official bag check; items may be left at the timing tent but organizers are not responsible for valuables.
Live results will be posted on Athlinks, and final results with series points are posted the Monday after the race. The event awards top three men and women overall and first and second place in standard age groups from 19 and under through 70 plus. Points count toward the Year Long Endurance series, the Back of the Pack series, and the Winter series. Photos taken by staff are posted to the organizer's Facebook page after the event.
