Potomac River Run Marathon

The Potomac River Run Marathon, organized by the Safety and Health Foundation, is a scenic running event held annually along the historic C&O Canal Towpath in Washington, D.C. The 22nd edition will take place on May 3, 2025, featuring both a full marathon and a half marathon, both of which are USATF-certified and serve as qualifiers for major marathons, including Boston. The course is known for its flat, unpaved gravel path, making it accessible for runners of all levels.

Participants can enjoy aid stations, post-race refreshments, and a chance to connect with fellow runners. The event also supports various charitable initiatives. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
