Marine Corps Marathon Washington

THE RACE
The course of the Marine Corps Marathon takes runners on a journey through the nation’s capital. The course will showcase the best of Arlington, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

The route starts in Arlington, Virginia, and winds its way through Rosslyn along Lee Highway before turning on Spout Run and the George Washington Parkway. After crossing the Key Bridge into Georgetown, runners will be on familiar territory through the District of Columbia. The course returns to the Palisades Community for a scenic view of Canal Road, and returning to Georgetown. Afterwards, runners pass the Jefferson Memorial before entering the National Mall and pass numerous monuments, memorials and landmarks, such as, the Lincoln, Franklin D Roosevelt, Korean War and Vietnam Veteran’s memorials, Washington Monument, and the U.S. Capitol. Runners continue along Jefferson Drive and cross the 14th Street Bridge back to Virginia.

For the last 10K runners will venture to Crystal City, return past the Pentagon and finish at the Marine Corps War Memorial.

It is truly a beautiful course and aptly nicknamed “The Marathon of the Monuments.”
