You should drive to the Shady Grove Metro station, park your car
there and take the train from the White Flint station after the
race.
Wave Start
We will have a wave start. Runners will be separate into pace groups.
The groups will start every one or two minutes depending on the
size of the previous group. The wave start will more runners to
run a good a pace right from the start.
Can you walk?
You must maintain a 14 minute/mile pace. If you are moving slower
than that you will have to use the sidewalk and follow all traffic
rules. We must enforce this rule because we are required to re-open
the road to traffic at a certain point.
