This race was great is every way. The packet pickup was easy and well organized. The course was well marked. Running around the Pentagon on closed highways is something you can't ever do - legally at least!

After the race the food and drinks, especially the beer, were great

A nice course, though you start and end on an uphill, so be prepared for that. They do post the times on the gym wall, but it's had to see that small type, but I guess with an expected turnout of 2500 runners this year they had to fit everyone.

Course is fairly straight forward, out and back. One hill after the turn and a few rollers. The second half was very windy and cold. I made sure I tucked in behind someone to break the wind. Not my favorite half but a good tune up for the NYC marathon. Will
