The Army Ten Miler was an awesome experience, from start to finish. The race simulates many parts of the Marine Corps Marathon, which makes it an excellent conditioning and practice event for that race.
The Army pulled no punches in merchandise, setup, and overall execution of the event this year despite the shutdown. I was pleased with this event and will likely do it again in the future.

This was an easy loop around the DC monuments – crazy amount of runners but no part of the race was too packed to run at the pace you wanted to. I would definitely do this race again!

good views of washington dc! run on the highway, through the city, and with friendly runners from all across the country. lots of army presence, many runners in full army gear. the corrals were crazy! shots fired to start the race, very well organized
Decent Race
Decent race, the corrals and starting line was a bit of a cluster. About 30 minute wait for restrooms and confusion as to where the starting line was. MORE

The Army’s annual Army Ten-Mile Race and Expo is conducted in our nation’s capital by the U.S. Army Military District of Washington (MDW). Attracting over 35,000 runners and 900 teams from around the world, the Army Ten-Miler (ATM) exemplifies the Spirit of Sport and the Spirit of a Nation. Participants include military, civilians, wheel chair athletes and wounded warrior athletes. ATM’s mission is to support Army outreach, build morale, and promote physical fitness. Over 900 Soldiers and 900 volunteers support the Army’s “world class” ATM race.
Now in its 41st year, over 488,191 runners have run ATM since its inception in 1985. ATM is a category-B Army Family and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) event open to the public. All race proceeds benefit MWR programs. To date, ATM has generated over $8 million for Army MWR.
The MDW Command serves as the Army Forces Component and core staff element of the Joint Force Headquarters National Capital Region to conduct operations that deter, prevent and respond to threats aimed at the National Capital Region. MDW also conducts world-class ceremonial, musical and special events in support of our Nation’s leadership.

Worth It!

I’ve raced 15k’s and half marathons, but never a 10-miler. I enjoy the distance and this course has to be one of the best – if not the best – in the U.S. They didn’t regulate the wave starts very well so it was annoying weaving in and out of people in the first half mile who should have started later, but other than that, I really enjoyed this race and would do it again. I wasn’t in great shape, but still had a blast.
Most of the highlights of the MCM

(Marine Corps Marathon), without so much of the running. Not as much crowd support, but still enough people with signs to keep you cheerful. Good race production (they’ve been doing this for 40 years). A nice autumn race.

Great weather for a 10-mile run in the nation’s capital and VA. The Army 10 Miler put on a smooth event for over 28K runners. Top notch event with good swag and good crowd support. Expo at the DC Armory was nice and easy in and out.
I trusted my training and was running good splits. A short pit stop (extra .25mile) to run to a restroom along the National Mall due to long lines along the course.
I’ll continue to run this every year that I’m not doing the Staten Island Half.
Soldiers Do it BEST!!!

This might be my favorite 10-Mile course and probably because I am bias to the fact that I am an Army Vet. To see everyone out on the course running their hearts out and a course that had lots of variations of hills and flat pavement was refreshing. It was the perfect challenge for a great cause.
Nice race around DC! Hooah!

I highly recommend taking the metro to the Expo. The stadium-armory station puts you literally at the doorstep of expo. Decent expo got lots of free swags, no line at all! I parked at the fashion city mall, which is 1/2 mile from start. Beware of road closures, the main road to the pentagon is blocked for traffic so get there early. Decent course, no real hills. Overall, a decent race but tough logistics. Worth doing once, not sure if i will do it again.

This is a fun race to do, but I’ll caveat that it feels more like a fun run / training run with a lot of people as opposed to a race. The corrals are not strict so you get a lot of paces, but the corrals were pretty spread out. Nice tour of the DC area!

A great fall race through DC. Lots of runners come out so it ends up feeling like a big race while not feeling too crowded. The overall production is great and the course isn’t too difficult.
Gotta do it at least once

Crazy crowds of people with lots of veterans and active duty military. Not a difficult run, but you get to run past great scenery in DC. I’ve run the race 3x as it’s a great place to meet up with old friends and a chill 10 mile run.

Always well-run and well-attended-consistently the best course I’ve raced in the last 23 years. Patriotic, inspirational, scenic, excellent support for water and safety. Arrive at the starting line early enough to see the Golden Knights jump and the Army helicopters fly-over. Great crowd of runners!
Fantastic atmosphere and scenery!

Incredibly well supported run, chance to run with members of the military community, and great (flat) course route through the National Capital Region. This was my first time running the Army Ten-miler after 21 years of military service. It was a great opportunity to run with fellow service members, veterans, and families. Received a long sleeve technical shirt and pentagon shaped medal. Post race snacks and tents sponsored by military organizations. Overall, a fun atmosphere and great way to run remembering our fallen comrades.

Well managed for a mega-event, but very disappointed 2021 went to “virtual,” or what I call “training.” Cherry Blossom ran in Aug. M street fest was held in Oct. Capital City ran. But the Army said their motto is “safety first”!!! If in DC, the scenery and other runners are the best. Otherwise , looks like a regular Sat run-

Last time I ran this race was in 2017. The course was different than in 2017 which I preferred. Great change up so I hope they continue with this course except I wish they would by pass the dreaded 14th St bridge. Scenery was great as you run past many different monuments so if you’re a first timer you will love it. Swag was better in 2017 as was the after party. It appeared to me as less vendor as well as Army divisional support. As with Army tradition, you receive a coin at the end of the race. Perfect to display on my desk at work. Overall a great race if you have not done this one before. You’ll run with 30K other runners of all abilities. Have fun and enjoy!
Swag was better in 2017.

Such a solid race through DC with a good distance. If you’re doing Marine Corp this gives you a little preview of some of the course. This race brings out a nice sized crowd and has tons of post-race things to explore.
