SUNTRUST NATIONAL MARATHON AND HALF-MARATHON -- FINAL DETAILS:
1. Please note that construction on East Capitol Street has required moving the finish line into RFK Lot 3. Parking will only be available on race day in Lots 7 and 8 behind the Stadium. However, please take Metro is you can. Trains start running at 5:00 am on a weekend schedule. There will be more information at the Expo.
2. The course has a few narrow spots and hairpin-type turns, particularly in the last 10 miles of the marathon. Please observe all direction signs and course marshals for directions.
3. Spectators: please consult the information on the race website regarding street closures. It will be tough to get around between 7:00 am and noon. Again, if you can use Metro or your bike, you will be better off.
4. Final call for National Marathon volunteers, please email me if you would like to participate or need any information dcrrcpresident@comcast.net.
