2026 Turkey Tumble for Autism
The event offers three distances on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path in Georgetown: an out-and-back half marathon, and out-and-back 10k and 5k that begin and end at separate canal locations. The half marathon starts and finishes near the Potomac Boat Club in Georgetown; the 5k and 10k start and finish at Fletcher's Boathouse. The canal path is a light gravel trail with minimal elevation change.
Distances:
- Half marathon
- 10 km

The event is chip timed. Registered runners receive a finisher’s medal and a technical event shirt. Live race results will be posted on Athlinks and final series points will be published the Monday after the race. A virtual race option is available for participants who cannot attend in person.
Seven water stations are placed along the half marathon course, three along the 10k, and one along the 5k; Gatorade is available at some stations. Portable restrooms will be located near the Georgetown check-in area and indoor restrooms will be available near the Fletcher’s Boathouse registration area. There is no official bag check; items may be left at the timing table but organizers are not responsible for valuables.
The race is produced in partnership with the Organization for Autism Research. Awards are given to the top three men and women overall and to first and second place in several age groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
