It’s race week, and Washington will welcome runners for the annual Kewash Half Marathon/5K/10K, and this year will be the first marathon race. Proceeds from this event directly impact multiple non-profit groups in our communities. The annual Kewash Trail event features four distances, including a 5K, 10K, a 13.1-mile half marathon, and the full 26.2-mile marathon.

All races will start at JP’s 207, from there, all runners will head east on Main Street and then north through the underpass and complete a 1.5-mile loop around two blocks along West 5th Street before heading back down through the downtown area. Exiting downtown, runners will race along West Washington Street and enter Sunset Park where they will continue straight and then take to the Kewash Trail. From this point, each race has a different route. The marathon race will begin at 7:30 a.m., half marathon at 8 a.m., and 10K and 5K will both begin at 8:15 a.m.
