Freedom Half

The Freedom Half is a fast, flat half marathon held in Georgetown, near Washington, D.C., along the scenic Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path. The half marathon starts and finishes near the Potomac Boat Club, featuring a light gravel dirt road with minimal elevation changes on an out-and-back course. A 5K race also takes place, starting and ending at Fletcher’s Boathouse on a similarly flat and gravel trail.

The event offers chip timing, finisher medals, and technical shirts, and supports the charity Operation Enduring Warrior. Walkers are welcome, and a virtual race option is available for remote participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
