I really enjoyed this race. Nice relatively flat course. Shirts were great quality and got a beach towel too. I thought it was very well put on and look forward to running next year too.

My only complaint is the brutal walk to parking or metro after the race. After running 13.1 miles needing to immediately walk for 30 minutes to the nearest parking/metro is the last thing we need. Someone I was with was not feeling so great after and light headed and felt like we were in Siberia verses getting to transportation after. Maybe change the Start/Stop to anywhere closer?

Another great race put on that starts at Mount Vernon. Could have used another water stop, but overall fantastic race. I loved finishing in front of GW’s house, but the gravel was so slippery the last 25 yards or heading to the finish line. Really enjoyed walking the grounds after and drinking some post-race beers.

The course is challenging with the rolling hills, long uphill’s, and the out and back nature of it. It was a hot day with the sun beating down. Just get to the race at least an hour early since parking traffic is wild!
HOWEVER: This is the BEST race production I have ever seen in any race ever!
-Plenty of port-o-pottys, only 2 people in line in front of me 15 minutes before the race started.
-Start line was well organized
-So many water stops and so many police blocking roads and helping
-Amazing finish line
Post race snacks were great
-ICE COLD TOWELS were amazing, every race should do this!
-Great post race party and so easy to find family after the race
Suggestion: Have draft beer after the race, with the option to buy more and keep the party going!

Great race. Need to get to the race early to find parking. I was able to park right near the starting line. Weather was rainy and cold but what can you do. Amazing hoodie as swag and cool sunglasses medal. Nice views of the ocean.

Only con is they do not have all the roads blocked off so you are running with traffic on the side of the road and crossing the road trying not to get hit by cars.

Great course, love this race. Always is the start of summer for me.
My main issue with this event is that the after party could be so good if they let you drink more than one beer! Once the party starts, it seems to end quicky once the one beer runs out.

Weather was great and crowds were heavy! Lots of people on the course, we were packed in like sardines. Actual race was great, however the post-race was a shit show. No medals, 90 minute wait times to collect bag drop off, and shirts sucked.
Fast course tho!

Weather was near perfect. Great race as always. I will never get used to that hill around mile 7, wrecks me every time. I felt like I was killing it, and that hill took all the gas out of my tank.

The expo sucked as usual, but what are you gunna do. Never enough port-o-johns, but that’s typical of every race.

The after party should be better, but option to buy beer and keep it going after the race.

Love this race, great course. My only issue with this event is the after party could be so good, but they cut the party short with only one beer allowed. Why not open it up to purchase additional beers?

Great race as a 2nd timer. Expo could be better and they should have more of a party at the end where you can get more beers with other runners. MORE

Loved this race as it was right in my neighborhood. Only ran it one time, but loved the fast course. Would love to run it again, but it is on the same weekend as another race I like to run.
