I am a new runner and running the PNC Parkway (10 miles) this April in Alexandria, and want to run a half marathon sometime in the fall. I've looked into the DC Half (Sep 17), Autumn Georgetown Half (Sep 24), and the Potomac River Run Half (Oct 7). I was wondering if anyone had any experience running these/any other suggestions to consider for a first ever half!

I ran the DC half this last fall. It was a shady route and the race was well run. There are only a few thousand runners so it wasn’t total chaos.
Starting and ending in West Potomac Park was probably the most annoying part but everyone just rode the eBike rentals in, so it turned out to be a non-issue.
10/10 would recommend.
