Sunday, September 7th, 2025
Thank you for your interest in the GW Patriot 5K/10M. We are excited to have you run with us. The shirts are sold out. If you still want to run with us tomorrow, pick the "no shirt" option and get $5 off your registration fee. Thank you!
Our race features a 10 Miler and 5K course that welcomes all runners to participate in person! The George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) is a 25-mile-long stretch of highway that runs along the south bank of the Potomac River from Mount Vernon, VA, northwest to McLean, VA. It is one of the most beautiful and iconic stretches of highway in the nation. The racecourse uses both lanes of a 5-mile section of the GWMP between the GW Parkway Circle and W. Boulevard Drive. George Washington's Mount Vernon is grateful to the National Park Service for permitting the Patriot Run to use the GWMP.
All participants will receive a commemorative George Washington Patriot Run technical t-shirt and a spectacular finisher medal engraved with George Washington's bust. Awards will be presented to 1st place overall, by age division, and for the Military/First Responder categories.
The Finish Festival will offer music, food and beverage concessions, and a free beer for each runner. Thank you for choosing to run with us. We hope you enjoy the race!
All active-duty public safety personnel including police, fire, EMTs, and members of the military (including veterans) receive a $5.00 discount as George Washington's Mount Vernon's token of appreciation.
Free admission to George Washington's Mount Vernon. All participants are invited to tour the inside of George Washington's Mansion following the completion of their race. Show your race bib for entry into the Mansion line on the Bowling Green.
