National Capital 10 Miler and Janet Braunstein 5 Miler

Race Overview

The shutdown shut us down on Oct 5, but we’re back with a modified race distance and new course. Our 20 Miler will now be a 10 Miler. The Janet Braunstein race will remain a 5 Miler. Join us at Hains Point for our 2025 Nat’l Capital 10 Miler and the Janet Braunstein 5 Miler. This course is certified.

Finisher Rewards

All finishers will receive our 2025 commemorative hoodie. Because we’ve been asked, no, the hoodie is not dated, so it does not have the date for the October race or the November race. The hoodie does reference the 20 miler. We know, not ideal for the 10 miler, but the shutdown has put us in not ideal circumstances.

The race will follow Ohio Dr SW, around Hains Point on East Potomac Park, Washington, DC. The starting line will be on Ohio Dr SW, close to the entrance to the Golf range, at the Eastern Gate to East Potomac Park, facing the Washington Channel (you see the Warf on the other side of the water).

Parking Information

By Car from 395 Take Exit 2 from 395 North or Ohio Drive from 395 South. Tennis court on Buckeye Drive or at the side of the street on Ohio Drive. Parking there will be limited, so first-come-first-serve. Otherwise, you can park at Parking Lot B NPS on the Potomac side of the Peninsula: from 395 South, take a right at Ohio Dr, and then right at Buckeye Dr SW. Try to park at the tennis court parking. If parking is full, proceed to Parking Lot B NPS. If both parking lots are full, continue on Ohio Dr SW for street parking after the bridge.
