  • Race-Day Announcer:

  • Buy a Brick Foundation news:
    • Leigh and Gib Leonard, Founding Director of The Buy a Brick Foundation have been in Zimbabwe Africa for the past week on a 5-month mission.
    • We have been working in Zimbabwe for the past 20 Years.
    • Things are going very very well on the newly established projects, but keep in mind it is desperate here as the drought continues into its sixth year.
    • The people of Zimbabwe "THANK YOU" for all you do. These marathon races have been a big Supporter of Buy a Brick Foundation for more than a Decade.
    • The support has truly made a DIFFERENCE in the lives of THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS.
    • We completed construction of Leona Clinic, and we have started on another, called Batoka Clinic.
    • Along with these clinics, we have built over 39 school blocks and established 18 large community gardens that offer the opportunity for over 10,000 people to have year-round crop rotation.
    • The community garden projects have been a major success, and we are looking to expand the numbers.
    • The Batoka Clinic will be able to treat thousands of people in the rural bush villages just as Leona Clinic does today.
    • On our trip over in April 2024, we carried donated medical bags from Project C.U.R.E
    • We hope we can partner with Project C.U.R.E. and have containers of medical supplies shipped to Zimbabwe in the future, as it is so desperately needed.
    • April 2024 - The BIGGEST need is water. Our goal is to start pumping water from the mighty Zambezi River inland to the rural bush communities where there is No Water. This is an absolute emergency project.
    • We need to raise $250,000 for these water projects and hope to have multiple projects completed within the next couple months.

After you enter the driveway toward Fletcher's Cove, look to your left. The upper lot has about 85 parking spaces. Those spaces fill quickly. Now look to your right. You see a tunnel that goes under C&O Canal and C&O Towpath. Carefully enter the tunnel and drive through it to a lower lot with about 300 parking spaces. Once we fill all the parking at Fletcher's Cove (maybe 7:15 AM), a US Park Police officer directs cars to turn right on Reservoir Road towards free on-street parking at The River School, on W Street, Hutchins Street, Bending Lane, Reservoir Road, and MacArthur Boulevard, 0.3 to 0.7 miles away.
    • Alternatively, please take our Red Top Cab from Marriott Crystal City or car-pool to minimize parking delays.
    • Q. May I carry water or wear a hydration belt?
    • A. For sure! But won't it slow you down? We have aid stations with water and Gatorade roughly every two miles.
    • Q. Do you accept self-measurement using GPS?
    • A. To be fair, no. We expect everyone to run the same course, USATF-certified to be accurate to the nearest meter.

      • The visible possession or use by athletes of video, audio, or communications devices in the competition area. The Games Committee for an LDR event may allow the use of portable listening devices not capable of receiving communication; however, those competing in championships for awards, medals, or prize money may not use such devices.
      • Because we must be able to communicate instructions to you at certain points in our races, we specifically allow wearing headphones during the race, but we specifically prohibit wearing headphones at these points:
      • Start line
      • Aid stations
      • Turnaround 1
      • Midpoint
      • Turnaround 2
      • Finish line

      • Since we offer prize money ($250, $150, $100 for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd M/F), we ask you to follow this rule: If you expect to finish in the money, please don't wear headphones. Because of the specificity of Rule 144.3.b, we must disqualify potential money-winners whom we see wearing headphones or other two-way devices such as cell phones and the new talking wristbands. Sorry about that.
