A fun lap around Washington DC connecting several parks together throughout the city (Rock Creek Park, Reservation 630, Glover Archbold Park, Whitehaven Parkway and Dumbarton Oaks Park). The majority of this route is actually a trail run, with the last several miles being on paved multi use paths. To start, begin at the trail marker sign post at Bluff Bridge and head south on the pathway to pick up the trail which will be located on your right. Not all of the paths and directional changes on the route are going to be marked, so make sure to know the map well and where your turns will be. Aside from the last 2 or miles much of the route will be hilly, with several spots that will have steep inclines. For the DC area though, it's one of the funnest routes for that reason, giving a nice little vertical challenge within the city limits.
