Riverbend lies adjacent to the Potomac River and just west of Great Falls National Park. The course is beautiful and includes incredible riverside singletrack, a few short hills, and amazing views. This is not a super technical course. We are excited to introduce more trail runners to this special park and hope you will decide to come join the fun.
