These three are relatively small half marathons with the Georgetown Half being even more so. Due to the timing of the DC Half, it could end up being very warm and uncomfortable for a race. If you are looking for a much larger half marathon in the fall with (usually) better temperatures, you might want to check out Richmond or Philadelphia in November. They are both much larger and well organized.

Richmond is AMAZING. Awesome crowd support (especially the last 3-4 miles!), tons of runners but still well organized, decent course, and the last half mile (ish?) is almost entirely downhill. Plus the swag has been decent in my experience, although I haven’t run it since pre-COVID. For a first half in the fall, this would be my recommendation over any of the races in DC.
