About the Event

Experience the charm of Georgetown with its scenic half marathon and 5k race, both set along the picturesque Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path. The half marathon starts and finishes near the Potomac Boat Club in Georgetown, offering runners stunning views of the historic canal and surrounding urban landscape. Meanwhile, the shorter 5K begins and ends at Fletcher’s Boat House, providing a more compact but equally captivating route through this vibrant neighborhood.
Both races wind along the tree-lined towpath, where participants can enjoy gentle terrain that is ideal for all skill levels. The event celebrates not just athletic achievement, but also the rich history and natural beauty of Washington D.C.'s Georgetown area. Whether you're an avid runner or a casual walker, there’s plenty to appreciate as you take in the sights along this well-maintained path.
The race day atmosphere is vibrant with local vendors, enthusiastic supporters, and post-race festivities that bring together runners from all over for a memorable experience.
