On March 18, 2023, the United Airlines Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series Washington DC will be debuting a new course. According to the organising team… ‘the course promises to bring more stunning views and monuments than ever before.’
The traditional starting line on Constitution Avenue will remain, but there will be enhancements throughout the course.
The new half marathon course will now take participants over the Potomac River on the Arlington Memorial Bridge for the first time since 2016, through scenic Judiciary Square, and finish with views of the Capitol Building and the Washington Monument as runners cross the finish line on Pennsylvania Avenue. Finishers will be able to celebrate with family and friends right along the National Mall at the all-new Finish Line Festival.
“We are thrilled to announce this new course that will provide participants with an unforgettable experience,” said Adam Zocks, Race Director for the United Airlines Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series Washington DC.
“We feel there is no better way to experience our nation’s capital than taking a running tour of the District and then celebrating all of your accomplishments at our Finish Line Festival by the National Mall.”
The revamped 5K course will also allow participants the chance to experience new parts of the District and will finish in front of the Capitol Building on Pennsylvania Avenue as they traverse the streets of Washington DC.
The race weekend will kick-off with a free and open to the public Health & Fitness Expo at the Walter E Washington Convention Center on Thursday, March 16 and Friday, March 17. On Saturday, March 18, runners and walkers will take to the streets as they participate in the 5K or half marathon.
