    Off-Site Parking Options

    • Parking is limited at Fletcher's Cove, and we must leave spaces open for the general public, as it's a National Park and open to the public even during races
    • Thus we want as many participants as possible to park off-site, so that we leave some parking spaces available at Fletcher's Cove for the general public. Off-site parking options: 
    • • The River School entrance on Reservoir Road
    • • W Street, Bending Lane, or Hutchins Place off Reservoir Road
    • • Palisades Library, 4901 V St NW, Washington, DC 20007     
    • • Our Lady of Victory School, 4755 Whitehaven Pkwy NW, Washington, DC 20007
    • • CVS/pharmacy, 4859 MacArthur Boulevard NW, Washington, DC 20007
    • We offer round-trip Red Top Cab rides from our host hotel Crystal City Marriott to Fletcher's Cove departing at 7:00 AM on race day for only $10.00 arriving about 7:20 AM 
    • For the return trip after you finish, see the on-site Transportation Director.  After you finish, as we get groups of four finishers, we call Red Top Cab for a ride back to our host hotel
    • Please register for the taxi service in advance
    • From westbound Canal Road, Red Top Cab drops you off at Reservoir Road, at the entrance to Fletcher's Cove
    • Please cross Canal Road CAREFULLY to get to Fletcher's Cove and walk down the ramp to packet pick-up or straight to the start line if you already picked up your packet

For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...

Though we try to be accurate and on top of things... Race details can change when we aren't lookin. And once in a while we simply make a mistake.

ALWAYS visit the race's website for the most complete and accurate race information.
