EOD Warrior Holiday Dash Marathon

The EOD Warrior Holiday Dash Marathon is a festive running event held along the scenic Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path in Washington, DC. It offers three race distances: a 5K starting and finishing at Fletcher’s Boathouse, and both a Half Marathon and a Boston-qualifying Full Marathon beginning and ending in Georgetown near the Potomac Boat Club. The courses feature flat, light gravel trails with minimal elevation changes, ideal for runners of all levels.

Participants receive a finisher’s medal, technical shirt, and chip timing. Walkers and strollers are welcome, and a virtual race option is available. The event supports the EOD Warrior Foundation, aiding wounded and veteran Explosive Ordnance Disposal warriors and their families. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
