About the race
The 2027 EOD Warrior event in Georgetown, Washington DC features road-distance running on the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path with both in-person and virtual options. The event offers the following distances:
- 5k out-and-back on a light gravel dirt road
- 10k out-and-back on a light gravel dirt road
Both courses follow the C&O Canal path with minimal elevation change. Walkers are welcome. Points from the event count toward the Year-Long 5k, 10k and Back of the Pack series, and toward the Spring Series.
Registered finishers receive a finisher’s medal, a technical (drifit) event shirt, and chip timing. Shirts are guaranteed for runners registered before June 2; extra shirts may be available after that date on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration fees listed are $35 for the 5k and $50 for the 10k through May 31, with higher rates thereafter; prices increase further on race morning.
The event partners with the EOD Warrior Foundation, which provides financial assistance and support to active-duty and veteran wounded, injured, or ill EOD warriors, supports families of wounded and fallen EOD warriors, and helps maintain the EOD Memorial.
On-course support includes water stations (three on the 10k, one on the 5k), port-a-johns near check-in, and staff photos posted after the event. Live results are posted on Athlinks and final results with series points are published after the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
