The most amazing time ever! This was my first marathon and it was everything I could have wanted it to be. I am a slow runner took me over 6 hours so even if you are slow or a beginner you can do it! New York Road Runner is out there

Excellent and engaged entertainment and spirit throughout! Great balance of water and Gatorade and GU. Meaningful display of faces of the fallen. Neighborhood feel and support, from little kids with brownies to people lining the streets and sitting on their front porches. Dedicated

This has always been one of my favorite races in DC because it takes place against the backdrop of the beautiful cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin and Hanes point in DC in April. Weather is always unpredictable, but typically the temps are perfect for a great race (cold, but manageable).
