The inaugural running of this race went off well. The course is beautiful and the folks putting on the event did an excellent job! The volunteers were friendly and helpful. I definitely would plan to run it next year if they hold it again. A great small (limited to 200) race!

A run most visitors miss, but shouldn't, is along the George Washington Memorial Parkway on the Virginia side of the Key Bridge, where you can run 16 miles along the Potomac River, past Roosevelt Island to Mount Vernon, with Old Town Alexandria at the halfway point. The section to Old Town is flat and straight, and the part to Mount Vernon is hillier and more scenic. A favorite long run around here is Old Town to Mount Vernon and back. If you're going long, take your own water because fountains are few and far between.
