Transportation and Directions

Runners and spectators can take advantage of a variety of options for reaching the MCM start line.

METRO

Service begins at 5 a.m. for MCM runners and spectators on race morning.
Marathon runners should use the Pentagon Station (blue or yellow line) to enter Runners Village in the Pentagon North Parking lot and pre-race UPS Baggage Drop off. Starting at 8:30 a.m., Arlington Cemetery (blue line) may be used for access to finish area for spectators and for leaving the race site following the race. The MCM10K will start at the Smithsonian Metro (blue/orange line).

Runners are encouraged to pre-purchase farecards. On marathon day, it is recommended that runners store their Metro card in a zip lock bag so it does not get wet during the race. Wet farecards will not feed properly through Metro's machines.

Getting around is easy with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (Metro). Be sure to get your map, and check fares and schedules.

MCM10K

Metro remains the most convenient means to arrive at the MCM10K start with the Smithsonian station (blue/orange line) 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 start 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 line) and Arlington Cemetery (blue line).

SHUTTLES

Pre-race shuttle will run from 23rd & Crystal Drive in Crystal City to Runners Village in the Pentagon North Parking Lot. Post-race shuttles will be located at the base of the Finish Festival on Oak Street and Wilson Blvd.

Metro and post-race shuttles are located at the west end of the Finish Festival. The post-race shuttles return runners and spectators to 23rd and Crystal Drive in Crystal City (blue/yellow lines).

PARKING

Free parking is available in Crystal City at the corner of 23rd & Crystal Drive. Pre-race shuttle service from this parking location to Runners Village begins at 5:30 a.m. Additionally, runners coming from Virginia may wish to park at the Vienna Metro Station (orange line) or Franconia/Springfield Station (blue line) parking deck and take a short Metro ride to the event. Post-race shuttles will return runners and spectators to 23rd & Crystal Drive in Crystal City.
