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).

Excellent course by far. One of my favorite. Professionally done. Only bad thing is the awards are awarded to 10 year age spans rather than 5 years which is a mistake.

This is an event you will want to do each year. I

Great event! I would run this again for sure - only negative would be the water stations from about 15 on were sparse. Especially across the bridge and after we really needed more water as the heat increased rapidly.
