Santa’s Sleigh Half Marathon
The Santa’s Sleigh Half Marathon, held in Georgetown near Washington, DC, offers a scenic and festive running experience along the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path. The half marathon starts and finishes near the Potomac Boat Club, featuring a mostly flat, light gravel trail with minimal elevation changes. A 5K race also takes place, beginning and ending at Fletcher’s Boathouse on the same canal path.
Both events welcome walkers and strollers, and a virtual race option is available. Participants receive a finisher’s medal, technical event shirt, and chip timing. The event supports Team RWB DC and includes multiple water stations, age group awards, and a friendly, inclusive atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
