This race was great is every way. The packet pickup was easy and well organized. The course was well marked. Running around the Pentagon on closed highways is something you can't ever do - legally at least!

After the race the food and drinks, especially the beer, were great

I've run this race 15 times! It's well organized and in a spectacular location. Meb, Bill Rogers, Joan Benoit have run this race in the last few years. The course is breathtaking. Pre- and Post-race activities are plentiful. It's a great weekend destination. If you want to read my full review,

Well organized. Texas sized. Didn't expect the wind that blows gently,but continuously for days. Neither flat nor hilly, just a nice change up throughout the course. Lots of variation and felt like a faster run for me. Lots of energy at race start from crowd and announcers. Start of race
