This is another race I did with Bishop’s events. Even though this was my first time doing this specific race it was essentially the exact same race as the Summer Georgetown Race I did so I said repeat runner. Bishop’s events are low key, relatively cheap races throughout the DC region that raise money for charity. This one raised money for autism research which is great. I parked the same place I did last time near Georgetown cupcake and it was smoother since I knew where to go. However race day did not go as smooth as usual. For some reason I never got the pre-race email with wave info maybe that was why. Packet pick-up and the porta potties had very long lines. I got there early and it was not a big deal but as a result the races started a few minutes late and there was some confusion by some participants with the wave starts and some people stuck in line started late. Not a huge deal but it could have been improved. The course is fine. It is on non-technical trail along the C&O canal path. Scenery is fine but a little boring. The course is easy but there is a few rocks and puddles to maneuver around. Swag was okay. There was a short sleeve tech shirt and a small medal. Production and swag were fine for a $25 5K. Again these are not the most exciting races but good if you are looking for a low key race experience and convenient for double race weekends.
