Celebrate the 63^rd anniversary of the DC Road Runners' first race with the Hugh Jascourt 4-Miler, named for the Club's first President.

Hugh was an active and early supporter of women's running, a coach of two U.S. teams, and so knowledgeable that Congress called on him to testify to discuss running. Read more about him on the club's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/DCRoadRunners/

See Georgetown University on your right.  Hoya Saxa!  0.6 mile past Key Bridge, the road splits at a traffic signal; Foxhall Road peels off to the right, but you'll stay left and continue on Canal Road.  1.6 miles past the traffic signal, there will be an inconspicuous driveway on the left (river side) of the road; turn down this driveway.  There is some parking just after the turnoff; if this lot is full, go through the culvert under the C&O Canal to get to the large parking lot by the Boathouse.
