About the race
The Spring Georgetown Memorial event on May 30, 2027 offers two race distances held in Georgetown, Washington, DC, along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path near the Potomac River. The course for both distances is an out-and-back on a light gravel dirt trail with minimal elevation change.
Distances include:
- 5k
- Half marathon
The event awards a finisher’s medal, a technical (DriFit) event shirt, and chip timing. Awards are presented to the top three men and top three women overall, plus first and second place in standard age categories (19 & under, 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, 70+). Runners who place top three overall are not eligible for age-group awards. Walkers are welcome. A virtual race option is available.
Points from these races count toward the Year-Long 5k, Endurance, Back of the Pack Series, and the Spring Series. The Back of the Pack is a series classification for runners who average slower than the listed BOTP times and is not a course cutoff.
Practical race information: packet pickup is available at the event and participants are advised to check in well before their start. There will be no on-site race registration. Water and Gatorade stations are provided along the courses (seven stations for the half marathon; one station for the 5k). Parking is available along Water Street near 3530 Water St NW.
