A schmear over 26.2 miles
January 19th, 2025
3rd annual TWBB
The event officially begins at 5:30 AM at the Shady Grove Metro parking lot and runs over to the Fallsgrove Bethesda Bagels location to when the store officially opens at 6:30am.
You'll go on a journey to all five Bethesda Bagels, just like the five boroughs of the NYC marathon!!! The order of the aid stations will be Fallsgrove, Wildwood, Bethesda, Rosslyn, Navy Yard. The aid stations close at 2 PM so there is a hard cutoff.
After you complete the race the metro will be waiting at the Navy Yard-Ballpark station to take you swiftly back to Shady Grove.
