About the Kewash Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K
The Kewash Trail is a converted rail trail, so the surface is smooth and the grade stays gentle throughout. The course goes out and back, which means you retrace your ground and can judge your effort against where you have already been. Several distance options make it easy to bring people running at different levels.
The race starts and finishes on Main Street in the heart of downtown Washington, so the surrounding blocks are the action. Parking is mapped out in advance, with designated runner lots separate from business parking, and signs on the ground keep things clear. Food and drink trucks set up after the finish, along with games.

Finish-Time Stats
Going by the 2026 results, this is a small, friendly field, and the spread of finish times is wide, so this is a mostly recreational race rather than one for club runners.

The Kewash Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
