Medical Heroes Appreciation 5K Run & Walk

IMPORTANT: All participants MUST arrive before 6:15 AM. At 6:15 AM, Canal Road will convert to one-way traffic only and participants will have to take a circuitous route into the Fletchers Boathouse.

Entrance to the race start can also be accessed by parking or dropped off on Reservoir Road NW and walking across Canal Road.

There is ample parking available at Fletcher’s Boathouse parking lot. Carpooling is strongly encouraged.

The course is a simple out and back route that runs 2.5 km northwest along the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath and back. It starts just north of the footbridge that connects the Towpath with the toilet facility and upper car park. The course is flat and uniform in width, except for an area approximately 1.5 km from the start, where it splits into a concrete causeway (keep on this) and a wooden bridge.
