About the race
The event is a chip timed running event held at Daingerfield Island in Alexandria, VA, offering two measured distances.
- 5k
- 10k
Both races follow a paved out-and-back route along the Mount Vernon Trail, heading toward Gravelly Point with views of the Potomac River and aircraft at Reagan National Airport. The course is described as fairly flat with no major elevation gains.
Runners receive a finisher medal, a technical dri fit event shirt, and electronic timing. T shirts are guaranteed for runners registered before December 28; additional shirts may be available afterward on a first come first served basis. A virtual race option is available for participants who cannot attend in person.
The event awards the top three men and women overall and awards first and second place by age group in standard age brackets; top three overall finishers are not eligible for age group prizes. Results are posted live via an online results service and final results with series points are published the Monday after the race. Series points count toward the Year Long 5k, 10k and Back of the Pack Series and toward the Winter Series. The event benefits Semper Fi and America’s Fund.
Practical details include packet pickup at the venue, on site restrooms at the marina, parking along the George Washington Parkway, and multiple water stations on course. Banditing is not allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
