Event details
This event offers two distances that run on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path in Georgetown: a half marathon and a 5K. Points from both races count toward the organizer’s Year-Long 5k, Endurance, Back of the Pack, and Summer series. A virtual race option is available. The event benefits Team RWB DC.
- Half Marathon - out-and-back on the C&O Canal; starts and ends in Georgetown near the Potomac Boat Club.
- 5K - out-and-back on the C&O Canal; starts and ends at Fletcher’s Boathouse.
The courses are on a light gravel canal path with minimal elevation change. The half marathon includes seven water stations at approximate mile markers 1.55, 3.8, 4.3, 6.55, 8.8, 9.3 and 11.55; the 5K includes one water station near mile 1.55. Gatorade is available at some stations. The race is chip timed; finishers receive a medal and a technical (drifit) event shirt. Shirts are guaranteed for registrations completed before September 16; additional shirts are provided after that date on a first-come, first-served basis.
Packet pickup is available at the event; organizers recommend arriving 90 minutes before Georgetown events or 60 minutes before Fletcher’s events to check in. There is no on-site race registration. Restroom facilities and portable toilets are provided near registration areas. Awards are given to top overall finishers and age-group placings. Live results are posted on Athlinks and final series points are published the Monday after the race. A bag drop at the timing tent is informal and items are left at the owner’s risk.
