March 13th brought the DC Road Runners Fort Hunt 10k in Alexandria, VA. I ran this race last year when it was freezing, cold, and icy. This year was slightly chilly at the beginning, but it quickly warmed up and I was comfortable in a SparkleSkirt and runDisney short sleeved shirt.

This race was part of the Snowball Series from DC Road Runners and was a low-key race (which basically means no shirt or medal). This is ok though, because if you are a member, the race is free (and, if not, it's only $5)! Bib pickup was super easy before the race, and there were inside restrooms right by the start/finish line. There was also plenty of parking.

The course is a 5 lap loop around the park. It takes place on pavement and there are only a few inclines. While running in circles is not particularly exciting, it is easy to pace yourself because you now where you are, and you get to hit the water stop multiple times.

At the end of the race there was bagels and bananas.
