The two pictures here (just click on the picture for course map, the other is a PDF form of the press release). Feel free to print them out, copy and resend them etc. Below you will find all the details on the Riding With Courage – Marathon.
The run will be starting at 7:30am sharp out of Balance Gym Thomas Circle (111 14th Street NW). If you plan on running the entire thing, or running a portion at the beginning, please show up between 6:30 and 7am so that we can stay organized. We are asking that all runners (and anyone else who wants!) show their support of the run by donating at least $1 per mile that they run. You will have to opportunity to donate at the start/finish area, this website, and at one or two of the aid stations (for those wanting to meet up at those stations). Checks are preferred at the stations, and we will have donation sheets where you can put down credit card info as well.
The after party will be held at Balance Gym Thomas Circle from roughly 12:00pm to 2:00pm. There will be snacks, refreshments, music and sponsor booths, so please bring a friend or two and join the fun!
Course Info:
From Balance Gym Thomas Circle (the red marker), we’ll be heading south down 14th street. The white flags are markers for each 5 mile point, and the blue markers are specific locations where most of the aid stations will be located (there will be water, Gatorade and light snacks at most of the aid stations, water at all). If you are having trouble reading the streets, you will find a street list below in PDF form. Also, I have posted estimated times for when I’ll be hitting each aid station so that if people want to join in between stations they won’t have to wait for us for hours (a reminder that this run is two weeks after the Marine Corps Marathon…I may be moving a little slower than normal).

If you do plan on meeting at an aid station, please try to show up at least 20 minutes before the above time as these times are generalized and we could be moving slightly faster or slower. I also recommend that everyone choosing to run please bring your own water bottle and GU type fuel just to be safe. This is not a registered run, so we will just be running through the streets as a small group. We will obey traffic laws, avoid getting in the way of other pedestrians and please, please, please, no littering.
Info will be updated regularly, so check back as often as you can. If you have any questions or comments at all, please post them, email me, or call at any time. Lastly, a donation link will be up on this site very shortly for those wanting to show support.
Thanks so much everyone, make sure your calanders are marked for Saturday, November 14!
