Course

All courses are subject to change. Check back here the day before the race for final confirmation.

The 5K run is an out-and-back course taking participants by some of Washington’s most beautiful landmarks. From Freedom Plaza, runners head southeast down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the National Mall. Runners then turn left onto Constitution Avenue near 3rd Street NW, and right onto 1st Street NW, heading toward the Peace Monument. After passing through the Mall, runners turn right onto Independence Avenue, loop back onto 2nd Street NW, and continue back along the same route to Freedom Plaza.

The 1.4 Miles Health Walk is an out-and-back course starting at Freedom Plaza. Participants will follow the 5K course and head southeast down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the National Mall. Walkers will briefly continue onto Constitution Avenue, a slight left, before the turnaround point where they will continue along the same route back to Freedom Plaza.
