Running it back again for this year, its a trail run...a beautiful trail run. :-) Two run options: half marathon & 10K.

As with last year's race, the Juneteenth Half Marathon & 10K takes us along arguably the most slept-on trail in the District: The Civil War Defenses of Washington Trail. Both the 10K and half marathon run routes cover the entirety of the trail--the 10K route being one-way from end to end (northbound) while the half marathon route is an 'out and back' route clocking 1,378ft of elevation gain (yes, a quarter-mile elevation gain ;-).
