This was their 4th year with the half added and my first year running it. It was a very well run race and has great growth potential! I actually don't remember aid stations along the course, I didn't use any of the stations. The weather was ideal for a race even with the cool overcast. Great scenery as usual through DC. The expo was small but had all of the happenings of a big expo. Parking was easy for the expo and easy for the race because it was a small race...with growth though as expected parking will be hectic in DC....just comes with the territory. Good long sleeve tech-t, it's big so go one size down. It's a flat race; much of the course mimics MCM minus the couple of hills at MCM. Good festivities after the race and great energy before. I will do this one again in 2016!
