I noted enhancements to the course at Haines point. DC can still be warm in late October and if you are over a 4 hour marathoner ensure to hydrate and take fuel. they are a bit dull, slightly hilly and on highways. Overall the course is beautiful except the last 4 miles. One items to consider is the walk to the start is roughly 40 minutes but a good warm up and way to stay warm in the 30-40 degree weather. plenty of marines available to assist with security check.
I was so nervous the next morning that I left 2 hours before the start and check in was a breeze. If you don't care about the expo I suggest having your bib mailed to you. There were only 2 lines for security check resulting in a line that was at least an hour long. The expo was held at the armory and was very poorly organized. Overall the double tree and embassy suites are good spots (no frills) but close to the start and subway stations. Hotel stay was booked through the sites travel group. The communication was frequent and informative leading up to race day. I was originally registered for the 2020 race that was deferred twice. My comments run through my experience as I approached and completed the event. Overall the course was relatively the same with minor changes. This was my second time returning to DC to run after 22 years. Number of comments: 936 Ī Unique Run with the Marines (about: 2022)
I have run this marathon, and I want to add my comments about it.
