About the Event

Experience the charm of Georgetown as you run or walk through its picturesque streets during our scenic half-marathon and 5-kilometer race. The course follows the historic Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path, offering runners stunning views along the Potomac River.
The half-marathon kicks off near the vibrant Potomac Boat Club in Georgetown, providing a lively start to your journey through this bustling neighborhood. Upon completion of the race, you'll finish back at the same starting point, allowing ample time for celebration and reflection amidst the area's rich history.
For those preferring shorter distances or simply looking to enjoy the scenery without running, our 5-kilometer option commences from Fletcher’s Boat House, a charming spot that adds an inviting atmosphere to your race experience. Both routes wind through well-maintained paths, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable run for all participants.
Whether you're a seasoned runner or new to long-distance races, this event promises a memorable day filled with natural beauty and the vibrant energy of Georgetown's community.
