A Different Half Marathon
Most runs have water stations and bananas on hand for refueling. The DC Half and Half Marathon challenges you to down a half smoke with chips at the midway point.
After running 6.55 miles, you are greeted by our volunteers at Ben's Chili Bowl and given a basket of Ben's finest half smoke with chili, mustard and onions (vegetarian alternative available). Show your clean basket to a volunteer and you can run the remaining 6.55 miles to the finish line!
