Marathon canoeists at the WCC regularly compete on the national level in such races as the General Clinton Canoe Regatta and the Adirondack Classic. It is not uncommon to have a group of paddlers heading off to international races in warmer climates during the winter season in DC. Several members own C-1 and C-2s and compete in both disciplines. To train for these events, members organize early morning training sessions on the Potomac, long paddles on the C&O Canal, as well as trips to the many rivers in the area. Members also organize marathon canoe workshops at WCC in order to learn new and hone existing skills.

There is quite a bit of cross over between marathon, outrigger, and sprint paddling at the WCC. Having all of this disciplines at the club makes each group stronger and provides members with a diversity of experience that is one of the hallmarks of the club.
