Our mission and vision
To fulfill our mission, we assemble selected references from more than 100 publications, including studies of COVID-19, and we conduct events to benefit a wide range of charities domestic and overseas

Our event’s photo wall is on its way, thanks to Showtime Photo Booth
.
With 27 unique photo experiences since 2013, they’ve been a hit at events in Canada, the USA and the UK.
The photo wall will be at all our future events, so you can take photos of yourself and your loved ones at our start and finish lines!

Most of our races run on the scenic, flat C&O; Canal Towpath, starting and ending at Fletcher's Cove, 4940 Canal Road, Washington DC

Our refund policy: We offer refunds only in cases of military deployment, airborne infectious disease, or a death in the family, but we do offer a generous deferral policy:
Tell us you're deferring so we can pull out your bib number for redeployment
Then simply go to the registration page of any future SHF race you want to defer into
Select Deferral or Transfer from a Previous Race ($10.00)
Done!

Consumer warning!
We use Active.com for registration, but we dont't like some of its practices.
Active.com adds $1.25 plus 7.00% processing fee to every registration up to $149.99
Don't buy a MAGAZINE subscription, unless you really want it.
Don't buy ACTIVE ADVANTAGE for $89, unless you plan to run at least 9 races this year, so your $10 discount per race breaks even
Don't buy REGISTRATION PROTECTION unless you're really really sure you won't run the race -- some race directors will gladly provide 100% refunds upon request (I'm speaking for myself) REGISTRATION PROTECTION must be completed more than 48 before an event. Don't wait till two days before the event
If a race web page offers EXPRESS REGISTRATION, you can jump past where it asks you to create a password for future registrations.
