Potomac River Run Marathon

The Potomac River Run Marathon & Half is an annual running event held at Fletcher's Cove, Washington DC, along the historic C&O Canal Towpath. Known as the "Easiest Trail Marathon & Half in America," the course is a flat, scenic, out-and-back trail featuring unpaved gravel paths shaded by trees and offering beautiful views of the Potomac River. The event offers both full marathon (26.2 miles) and half marathon (13.1 miles) distances, both USATF-certified and qualifiers for major marathons including Boston and Olympic Trials.

Aid stations with water, Gatorade, and toilets are available throughout. The race fosters a friendly atmosphere with awards, finisher medals, and a post-race picnic, supporting various charitable causes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
