Summer Georgetown Half
The Summer Georgetown Half is a half marathon scheduled for July 25, 2027, in Georgetown, Washington, DC. The event is offered as an in-person race with a virtual run option for those who cannot attend on race day.
The course runs along the C&O Canal on a light gravel dirt road with minimal elevation change and follows an out-and-back route. The half marathon is chip timed and has a completion time limit of 3:15.
Registered runners receive a finisher’s medal and a technical (Drifit) event shirt. T-shirts are guaranteed for runners registered before July 14; organizers will order extra shirts for later registrants on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration pricing for the half is listed at $70 until July 15 ($75 thereafter); race-morning prices increase by $5 for each distance.
Points from this event count toward multiple Bishops Events series, including Year-Long Endurance and Back of the Pack series and the Summer Series. The event partners with the charity Operation Turbo. Awards recognize the top three men and top three women overall and 1st and 2nd place in age groups 19&Under, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70+. Overall top-3 finishers are not eligible for age-group awards.
Practical details: packet pickup is available at the event and on-site race registration is not offered. There are seven water stations along the course (Gatorade available at some), port-a-johns near check-in, and no official bag check though items may be left at the timing tent at the finish. Live results will be posted online and a QR code will provide immediate race-day result access. A summer weather policy notes that National Park Service heat and humidity guidelines may require postponement, cancellation, or conversion to virtual entries.
