annual Potomac River Run Marathon & Half

Gear up for the scenic splendor of the 22nd annual Potomac River Run Marathon & Half, welcoming every stride from the swift sprinters to the steady walkers. Lace up for a tree-lined tour alongside the historic Potomac with the full and half marathons kicking off on May 3rd. Your race journey is not just about the miles; start with packet pickups, join us for a carb-loaded pre-race dinner with Dr. Ben Pearl’s enlightening talk on foot care, and revel in the majestic C&O Canal Towpath with only the whisper of gravel underfoot. This USATF certified course promises no steep climbs, just the pure pleasure of nature and historic displays to enrich your run. And remember, if you're setting a leisurely pace, pack a water bottle and embrace the journey as you traverse this virtually flat course, tracing the river's serene flow.
