Packet pick up was a mess. They lost my bib, as well as 2 others while I was there. 1 women and Race Director were arguing - no customer service friendly people at all at the pick up. race was 17 minutes late -
course was beautiful and

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

I partipated as a runner and left as a friend. No matter the level or intensity of your approach to the race, you will find encouragement and motivation. A well coordinated race and great people.
