Capitol Hill Classic 10K
The Capitol Hill Classic is a running event scheduled for May 17, 2026, marking the 45th edition. The program includes a 10K, a 3K, and a Kids' Fun Run; the shorter races follow the 10K.
The course runs across Capitol Hill and passes notable landmarks including the U.S. Capitol, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the Folger Shakespeare Library, Lincoln Park, East Capitol Street, and RFK Stadium. The route is based in Washington, DC and highlights the neighborhood and civic buildings along the way.
Proceeds from the event support the Capitol Hill Cluster School, a DC public school operating on three campuses: Peabody Primary School, Watkins Elementary School, and Stuart-Hobson Middle School. Funds are used to pay for field trips, art supplies, classroom projects, professional development for teachers, garden programs, and specific teacher requests.
The 2026 Classic lists Kitchel Injury Law as a sponsor. The sponsorship notes a focus on street safety for cyclists, pedestrians, and families, and mentions assistance for people recovering after car accidents.
