I was honestly a bit surprised at how much this race felt like a small-town race even though it was in the heart of Washington, D.C. Fewer than 300 people were involved in all the distances which left a lot of opportunity to win age-group prizes. The top three in 10-year brackets each were awarded apple pies! A drink company was also there passing out full-size bottles of their fruit water with plenty to go around. The course was run on the road skirting the park, so it was flat and wide pavement running the whole way. Race day was a bit cold (just above freezing) but the golf shop and cafe with real restrooms were open. For a race that took only ten George Washington’s out of my wallet, it was so worth it, even driving down from Michigan the day before.
