Riverbend lies adjacent to the Potomac River and just west of Great Falls National Park. The course is beautiful and includes incredible riverside singletrack, a few short hills, and amazing views. This is not a super technical course. We are excited to introduce more trail runners to this special park and hope you will decide to come join the fun.

Charity partnership
During registration, you will have an opportunity to support a local non-profit Homestretch.
