This event is a timed road race at Ben Brenman Park in Alexandria, VA, organized in partnership with the Foreign Area Officer Association (FAOA).

Distances
- 5k

All finishers receive a commemorative medal, a technical event shirt, and chip timing. Post-run refreshments will be provided and the event includes music and a tailgate-style atmosphere tied to the Army–Navy Game kickoff. The route is a fairly flat, paved course; the 10k follows an out-and-back twice.
Entry fees are tiered: the 5k and 10k have lower early registration prices with increases after the listed cutoff dates and an additional increase on race morning. T-shirts are guaranteed for runners registered before December 3; extra shirts may be available afterward on a first-come, first-served basis.
Water stations are placed along the courses, with Gatorade available at some stations. Restrooms are located inside the park. Awards are given to the top three overall men and women and to top finishers in defined age groups; overall top-three finishers are not eligible for duplicate age-group awards.
Live results and final series points will be posted online after the race. Packet pickup is available at the event. The organizer enforces a no-banditing policy and may delay or cancel the event for weather. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
