DC Half Races
About the event
RACE THE DISTRICT
Two days. Two races. One city.
The DC Half is a full weekend takeover—hit the 5K Saturday morning, go all in on 13.1 miles Sunday, or tackle both races with the newly minted District Challenge.
Brought to you by Pacers Running, it’s DC’s streets, DC’s people, and the best weekend the District has to offer.
Tee. Medal. Festival. Friends.
Let’s race the District!
