About the Race
MCRRC sponsors this popular low-key, but high quality, half marathon run through the rural rolling (elevation chart) countryside of upper Montgomery County beginning and ending at Rileys Lock on the C&O Canal (course map). 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.
