Event
Details
Filled with rolling hills along the rural countryside of Maryland's
upper Montgomery County, just across the Potomac River from Virginia,
the Riley's Rumble Half Marathon takes runners on an out-and-back
course that starts and finishes at the Riley's South Germantown
Recreation Park. This popular
warm-up event for the regional marathon events that take place later in
the fall usually attracts 500 runners or more, so prospective entrants
are encouraged to register well in advance of the race, before it fills
up.
From the starting line on Riley's Lock Road, runners follow a course
that takes them northward and then westward all the way to the first
turnaround point on Barnesville Road, and then back down White Ground
Road to the intersection with Old Buckbridge Lane, where they turn and
make their way up to the second turnaround point roughly a mile up the
road. From there, runners follow the course they've already run for the
first half all the way back to the finish line at South Germantown Park.
Race
