About the Potomac River Run Marathon
The Potomac River Run Marathon offers a unique racing experience along the historic C&O Canal towpath in Washington DC. This flat, fast course follows the scenic Potomac River, providing runners with beautiful views and a high potential for personal records. The out-and-back route features a crushed gravel surface, making it easier on the joints than traditional road marathons. With its smaller field size and serene surroundings, this race offers a peaceful alternative to larger urban marathons while still providing the full 26.2-mile challenge. Runners can enjoy the natural beauty of the area and potentially spot wildlife along the course.
