DC10 is a brand-new spring community-to-pro track meet brought to you by Light Horse Track Club. Hosted at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., this meet features open and select championship races in the 5,000m and 10,000m, plus a free youth mile - set in a high-energy environment with a DJ, live announcing, and food trucks on site.

Perfectly timed two weeks before the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler, DC10 is the perfect spot to sharpen fitness and chase a 5K or 10K PR or standard heading into spring road racing season.

DC10 is USATF- and World Athletics–sanctioned, making it a great option for athletes pursuing qualifying standards. The meet is designed for open, collegiate, high school, and youth runners, ensuring a competitive and welcoming environment for a wide range of athletes.

If you can break 60mins for 10k or 30mins for 5k - DC10 is for you!  Grab a PR, sit back, watch our select sections, and let the pros do their thing.
