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).

This is a great race with a lot of history. I have run it a dozen times and keep coming back. Great swag and a nice after party. Registration is prompt and well organized. There is a nice after party at the Puck ( a local watering hole)

The race took place on one of the windiest and coldest day of the year, however, there was plenty of spectators to get by. They were loud and positive. The course is relatively flat but I train in Atlanta ;) Great race and lots of post race restaurants to choose
