Race Information
Northern Virginia's marquee spring race, the PNC Alexandria Half takes runners through the historic streets of Old Town Alexandria and out along the iconic George Washington Memorial Parkway for one of the most scenic half marathon courses in the DC area.
The half marathon starts and finishes in Old Town, with 5 miles each way on the GW Parkway before returning to a post-race festival at Oronoco Bay Park. The 5K keeps things exclusively in Old Town's charming streets. A Kids Dash (600m) rounds out the event for younger runners 12 and under.
Produced by Pacers Running and sponsored by PNC Bank, the race supports the Boys & Girls Club of Alexandria. With 13 pace teams, six aid stations, and corralled starts, it's a well-organized event for runners of all levels.
