MCM10K
Presented by Aetna
Participants in the MCM10K (6.2 miles) will join MCM runners along the streets of the nation’s capital and finish at the iconic Marine Corps War Memorial in Rosslyn, VA. The start is located at the intersection of 12th St and Jefferson Dr on the National Mall. Just one mile into the race the course crosses the Potomac River into Crystal City and finishes parallel to the Marine Corps Marathon. Opening festivities begin at 7:50 a.m. with the start at 8:00 a.m. Wheelchair and hand cycle participants will be stationed at the front of the corrals for the start.
The USATF-certified MCM10K course will follow the marathon course across the 14th Street Bridge into Crystal City. There, the MCM10K course diverts from the marathon by making a left onto 15th Street. After arriving at the Pentagon, MCM10K runners will complete their 6.2 miles in parallel to the MCM, finishing at the Marine Corps War Memorial.

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).
