Semper Fi 5k & Half

The Semper Fi 5k & Half is a morning race in Washington, DC, with both distances following the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal path. The half marathon begins and ends in Georgetown near the Potomac Boat Club, while the 5K uses Fletcher's Boat House as its start and finish point. Both races commence at 7:30 AM EDT, and walkers are permitted, meaning the event accommodates participants not solely focused on achieving a fast time. The course directs participants along the canal path beside the Potomac River. The half marathon route is situated nearer to Georgetown, and the 5K route is located further up Canal Road at Fletcher's Boat House. The race is located at 4940 Canal Rd NW. The event provides in-person 5K and half marathon registrations, along with virtual participation options that include distinct shirt and medal selections. Travis Bishop is the designated event contact, and the race also provides a website and Facebook page for information.
