Airports

The Washington, DC metropolitan area is served by three major airports:

Baltimore-Washington International (BWI)

Reagan National (DCA)

Dulles International Airport (IAD)

Reagan is the closest airport to the start of the race and has convenient access to the Metro subway system. Dulles is the next closest airport and has not-so-convenient access to Metro. BWI is the farthest from the race start and has no convenient access to Metro

If you are planning to rent a car, all three airports are very viable options.

Accommodations

There are lots of places to stay. Two areas that have particularly convenient access to shopping and restaurants and the race start are the cities of Bethesda and Gaithersburg. Bethesda has the best restaurants and easy access to the Metro subway.

A nice hotel in Gaithersburg is the Marriott-Washingtonian Center.

There are lots of nice hotels in Bethesda, including the American Inn of Bethesda, the Doubletree Hotel, the Court Hotel, and the Hyatt Regency Bethesda

Basic Directions to the Race

The race is point-to-point so runners will meet at the finish area and be bused to the start of the race.

From I-495 (the Capital Beltway), take River Road (West) exit. Continue several miles until River Road (Route 190) turns left at Seneca Road (Route 112) There is a stop sign, so you won't miss it. Turn left, then proceed a few hundred yards to Riley's Lock Road on your left. Follow directions from race volunteers with respect to parking and getting to the buses. Please allow 30 minutes from the Beltway to get to the race site.
