*Grand Prix Event*

The entire marathon course is encased in National Park Land, with some brief detours through the country roads and preserved history towns that connect them.

The full marathon is a point to point with a small net elevation loss. You course 4.5 miles Harpers Ferry National Park, cover 10 flat miles on C&O Canal, roll over a country road to Antietam Battlefield for 2 miles, cover 5 rolling miles of the rich land of Antietam, and finish with 4.5 flat to downhill miles into Shepherdstown.

*Only the Full Marathon counts towards the Grand Prix series.
