Very good race. I will do this event every single year. They just need to have 5-year age divisions instead of 10-year when you have so many people. They even gave a Finisher Medal.

Great timing and of course it was a Chronotrack timer so you know the timing is spot on.

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).

"Overall a very positive experience. Here are my thoughts:

Pros

1) I liked the race course. Although I know it wasn't easy because of the hills, what goes up must comes down. The first few miles had a good amount of hills but they weren't too steep, and going downhill was really helpful.
