Pace / no-drop guidance
Choose the distance you can complete comfortably and arrive prepared to carry what you need. We leave together, organize by distance and conversational pace, and account for every runner at the finish.
No-drop applies within each organized distance group — it does not guarantee a dedicated pacer, medical support, or supervision at every pace. Stay with your group, keep the posted turnaround, and tell the group lead before changing distance or leaving the route. See the Code of Conduct.
The Mount Vernon Trail stays open to the public. Keep right, pass with care, and make room for runners, walkers, and cyclists moving in both directions.
What to bring
- Water appropriate to the selected distance
- Fuel for the 10- and 20-mile options
- Phone and identification
- Weather-appropriate layer
- Reflective or visible gear when conditions require it
- A plan to finish the distance you selected
Bring what you need. Carry what you bring. Leave the river better than you found it.
ATTENDEE NAMES ARE NEVER LISTED PUBLICLY. RSVP AND POST-RUN ATTENDANCE ARE SEPARATE RECORDS.
