The Rivers &amp; Rails Marathon is a destination running weekend rooted in landscape, history, and connection. Centered in historic Brunswick, Maryland, the experience reaches into nearby Harpers Ferry and Bolivar, West Virginia&mdash;where the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers meet and the rail lines that helped shape America still run.
Along the way, runners will encounter scenic stretches of the C&amp;O Canal Towpath, cross iconic bridges linking states and stories, and pass through ground steeped in American history&mdash;including landscapes that played a pivotal role during the Civil War, as well as brief touches of the Appalachian Trail. This is a place where rivers, railroads, and history converge in a way few courses can offer.
The weekend features a Full Marathon, Half Marathon, and a challenging 5K, welcoming runners of all levels. Thoughtfully designed to highlight the region&rsquo;s character, Rivers &amp; Rails is more than a race&mdash;it&rsquo;s an immersive journey through natural beauty, rich heritage, and the enduring spirit of the places it connects.
