Hands down the greatest race I've ever competed in. From start to finish there was non-stop support from the spectators. Great support from my fellow runners as well. I had cramped up around Queensboro and countless runners urged me to continue on. I really appreciated the extra motivation. The aide

"Nice course - cool running through historic DC.

Post race very easy to find people thanks to the letters / numbers labeled afterwards - just pick one beforehand.

Would do again!"

I've run this race on July 4th a number of times and each year this event has improved. What did bug me was that there was no National Anthem played prior to the start of the race. Come on Guys it's the 4th of July. The birthday of this great nation.
