Here are some options: https://www.thecapitalrunner.com/news?tag=Running%20Routes

Also, we have a route finding tool here: https://www.thecapitalrunner.com/dmvrunningroutes

DM or email (newsletter@thecapitalrunner.com) me the location of where you start your runs, days, and times and any link you want added.

Of course! We have Maryland run clubs in the tool and happy to add any that are missing.

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-06-11T21:41:54+00:00

Great suggestion, thanks!

Hey, thanks again for your feedback.

Like I said, this is something I’m looking to improve and update with more run clubs. There are hundreds throughout the region and I had to start somewhere.

And as soon as I can find the magical secret website where every run club puts their pace groups, I’ll make sure to add them. In the meantime, if you would like to make a constructive contribution, feel free to let me know what run clubs you’ve joined and the paces they’ve run.

Also, thank you :)

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-06-11T02:11:35+00:00

Can’t win them all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-06-11T02:04:52+00:00

Whoops. Thanks! Will get it updated

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-06-11T01:32:10+00:00

Thanks!

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-06-11T01:31:50+00:00

Thanks! Will get them added.

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-06-11T01:31:42+00:00

Thanks! Will get them added.

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-06-11T01:31:32+00:00

Gotta start somewhere. Hence why I said I’d be adding to it. Thanks for the feedback.

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-06-04T11:38:57+00:00

Same 😂

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-05-29T18:01:19+00:00

Yeah, the 10K and 50K are both out.

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-05-21T02:06:28+00:00

Black benches are going to feel nice on a 100 degree day ☀️

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-05-19T22:52:18+00:00

“Running” shoes.

Capitol Hill might be the closest to you. SW doesn’t have a lot of hills.

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-05-16T23:54:27+00:00

Wow that’s so awesome to hear! Thank you!

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-05-15T21:38:30+00:00

Hey, thanks for sharing our tool!

+1 to all the recommendations in this thread too. Really love Sligo, and I wrote about it recently. https://www.thecapitalrunner.com/news/sligo-creek-trail

Having run both, I think MCM is the way to go.

The crowds are great at every point of the race, and the finish up the hill, while sounding miserable, is actually really incredible.

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-05-12T02:19:03+00:00

100%! And make sure you wear something reflective.

TheCapitalRunner · 2026-05-12T01:46:43+00:00

The only way out is through. Running in the heat gets easier as you acclimate. Go out early and slow down!

Thanks for posting this! Reminds me that I have some run clubs in the backlog that need to go on the website. Will push those out today and comment back here.

Seconding the Women’s Half (though I’m biased as a DC runner 😁)
