25 and Greater Mile Hikes and Greater Mile Hikes - From St. Agnes, hikers will take N. 20th St. to Quincy St., turn left and head north on Quincy Military Rd., Old Glebe Rd., and Randolph St. to get to Chain Bridge. Crossing Chain Bridge, they'll be turning left on the C&O Canal towpath, where in 4.5 miles they'll reach the Lock 10 Support Stop. From there, they'll continue outbound to the Great Falls Tavern Support Stop (a little past Mile Marker 14), after which they'll turn around and return to the Lock 10 Support Stop for a second time. From there, they'll walk back past Chain Bridge and on to the Fletchers Boat House Support Stop for their third stop (and final stop for the 25 Milers, who will have actually hiked 25.6 miles total; they will be returned to St. Agnes from this Stop; note that if a 25 Miler gets a ride on their own, they still need to return to St. Agnes to check out!) From Fletchers, the 30-50 Milers will continue inbound on the towpath (not on the asphalt Capital Crescent Trail) to Key Bridge, and cross back into Virginia. At the Lee Highway intersection, they'll turn left, cross Ft. Myer Dr and Lynn St, and start on the Mt. Vernon Trail. Just before National Airport, they'll reach the Gravelly Point Support Stop, their fourth Stop. Walking past National Airport, they’ll reach 4 Mile Run Creek, where they'll turn right on 4 Mile Run Trail, eventually dog-legging onto the new bypass. There will be a minor "Waypoint" support station at the end of the bypass, at Shirlington Rd. From here they'll shift one block right and continue on the W&OD Trail to the Bluemont Park Pavillion Support Stop, the 39.5 mile mark. Four of the "Bluemont Loops" (a 2.66 mile circuit of trails) completes 50 Miles. All Hikers that get to Bluemont Pavilion who have never done a Bluemont Loop should request an escort or accompany another hiker who hiked last year (i.e., someone who knows the route). Except for the Tail End Charlies and several pre-identified very fast hikers (who will have assembly times 1 hour later), 25 and Greater Milers will assemble at 5:00 am, for Sign-Ins, Announcements, and Orientation, and start at 5:30 am. The fastest will arrive at Lock 10 (1st time, 8 miles) around 7:30, arrive at Great Falls Tavern (13.8 miles) around 9:15, arrive at Lock 10 (2nd time, 20.1 miles) around 10:30, arrive at Fletchers (25.3 miles) around 1:00, arrive at Gravelly Point (32 miles) around 2:30, and arrive at Bluemont (1st time, 39.5 miles) around 5:00. Obviously the hiker arrival times expand as the hikers get further into the hike (and spread out based on average speeds), so these times are a best guess at the average times. To put it in Biblical terms, 50 Milers typically finish between 8:00 pm for the quick and 1:00 am for the dead.

AWARDS: All hikers and staffers will receive a patch, regardless of distance, unless declined. Hikers who complete 25-49 Miles will receive a certificate, if requested. Hikers who complete 50 Miles within 20 hours will receive the Alonzo Stagg medal, a certificate, and a “Euro Sticker,” unless declined. All Units will receive an “Alonzo Stagg Hike 2018” flag streamer at the first organizational meeting or at the gym.
