Besides the weather, this race was a wonderful experience. It’s apparent that Washington, D.C. has a large and experienced running community. I’ve never been in a race where volunteers and runners were so polite! I even noticed that runners in this race would raise their hand to signal to other runners when they were going to walk. I’ve never seen that before!

The course was great going around several monuments, parks and neighborhoods. A lot of crowd support even on a cold and rainy day. Would love to do this race again!
