START
The start of the All New MCM10K presented by Aetna has moved to the National Mall, just outside the Smithsonian Metro station on Jefferson Drive.  Participants and spectators should proceed directly to the start location, just a block away from the Smithsonian Castle.  Opening festivities begin at 7:50 a.m. with the start at 8:05 a.m.  Wheelchair and hand cycle participants will be stationed at the front of the corrals for the start.

TRANSPORTATION
Metro remains the most convenient means to arrive at the MCM10K start with the Smithsonian station (blue/orange) being located directly at the start.  The Metro system opens at 5 a.m. on Marathon morning.  There is no shuttle service to the MCM10K nor is there any designated MCM10K parking location, as road closures for the marathon will affect the area surrounding the course.  Convenient post-race Metro stations are located in Rosslyn (blue/orange) and Arlington Cemetery (blue).

COURSE

Pentagon, 10K runners will complete their 6.2 miles in parallel to the MCM, finishing at the Marine Corps War Memorial.  Dogs, strollers and bikes are not allowed on the course to keep the runners safe.  All runners will be timed using the ChronoTrack system.  The course includes two water points and two aid stations.
