Course details note the half marathon runs on a light gravel dirt road with minimal elevation change. The 5k and 10k use the same C&O Canal light gravel flat trail with no major elevation gains. Water and sports drink support is provided: the half has seven water stations at approximate mile markers 1.55, 3.8, 4.3, 6.55, 8.8, 9.3 and 11.55; the 10k has three stations at about 1.55, 3.1 and 4.65; the 5k has one station at about 1.55. Gatorade will be available at some stations.
Awards include top three men and women overall and first and second in multiple age categories. The event benefits the nonprofit We Finish Together, which collects donated medals, adds messages, and distributes them to people who may benefit from an act of kindness.
