I was excited to try this race last June as several friends have tried it and liked it. I paid in full for the race but then my aunt died a few days before race day and her funeral was scheduled for the day of the race. i emailed the race

Four years ago, this was my first marathon so it will always hold a special place in my heart! Great cheerleaders on the side lines, relatively flat course and great aide stations. The course is constantly changing and I wasn't a huge fan of the Pentagon parking lot this year before

Despite the 5K and 10K races with a low turnout, I'd say the price of registration to enter the race was pretty reasonable. That's especially a bang for my buck for a 5K that does not have a huge crowd.

I am unsure about the course similarity to the Casino Bridge Run,
