Autumn River Views 5k & 10k

Autumn River Views 5k & 10k starts and finishes at Carderock Recreation Area in Potomac, Maryland, with runners choosing either 5 km or 10 km. The race is held in autumn and uses fast, flat courses, so it suits people chasing a steady effort as well as anyone who wants a straightforward shorter race. The route runs along the C&O Canal Towpath, a historic path beside the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near the Potomac River. Walkers are welcome, which gives the event a broader feel than a runners-only road race. There is also a virtual option, with package choices that range from no medal or shirt to both a medal and shirt, and entry fees change by registration period.
