About the Race

MCRRC sponsors this popular low-key, but high quality, half marathon (course map) run through the rural rolling countryside of upper Montgomery County beginning and ending at South Germantown Recreational Park -- Maryland SoccerPlex (new location). This race is scheduled specifically for those who are training for a Fall Marathon to test their level of fitness. As part of the MCRRC Championship Series, this is a low-key race; there will be no commemorative t-shirts or awards.

Water and Gatorade will be provided approximately every two miles along the course.

Registration

MCRRC Members register on race day at no charge.

Registration for non-members is $10 and online registration is strongly encouraged due to the crowd size (over 500 runners last year).
