Description

2015 REI Run Series Mid-Atlantic 5k & 10k:

Whether you're looking to run your first 5k or hit a new personal best, the REI Run Series will help you set your pace! All who sign up will receive awesome REI branded gear, maps of the course and plenty of post-race refreshments. Plus, there are some great prizes for the top men's and women's finishers. So lace up your shoes and come get your race on with REI! Packet Pick Up will take place the morning of the event on October 4, 2015 at Rock Creek Park near Picnic Grove 24 at 7:15 AM. The race begins at 8:00 AM sharp! Register early; no on-site registrations.

10K START TIME IS 7:50 AM. 5K START TIME IS 8:00 AM. This is to accommodate our National Park Service permit requirement that all runners be finished and the course closed by 9:30 am. Morrow Drive will re-open to regular traffic at 9:30 am. This is a low-key, low-cost event - no official timing will take place. A clock will be located at the start/finish line for runners to note their times.

Course Info

The course is an out-and-back that begins and ends on Stage Road by Picnic Grove #24, across from the Fitzgerald Tennis Center. 10k'ers do the route twice.
All runners must be off the course by 9:30 am (Morrow Drive will re-open just after that time).
The course follows Morrow Drive as it leaves the Tennis Center and heads down to Beach Drive. Runners will make a sharp left onto Beach Drive, and follow Beach Drive south to Picnic Grove #4 for the turnaround back to Stage Road. A water station will be located just before the turnaround point.
Walkers are strongly urged to do the 5k course (one out-and-back).

Directions

From 16th Street, NW, head west on Colorado Avenue, NW. Take the first right into the Carter Barron Amphitheater box office parking lot. Follow the road to the first stop sign. Take a right at the stop sign to park near Picnic Grove 24 and the Fitzerald Tennis Center/William Morris Jr. Memorial Stadium.
