Carderock Half

The Carderock Half is a scenic running event held at the Carderock Recreation Area along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in Potomac, Maryland. Participants can choose from a half marathon, 10k, or 5k course, all of which run along light gravel trails with minimal elevation changes.
