Taking runners from George Washington’s Mount Vernon home in Virginia all the way over to the recently developed National Harbor shopping and entertainment district across the river in Maryland, the Woodrow Wilson Bridge Half Marathon unfolds mostly along the Potomac River and reaches its highlight with the stretch across the bridge in the second half of the race. The race also features a stretch down Washington Street in Old Town Alexandria, where you’ll see plentiful quaint homes and shops.
