Take Metro!

• 5K: Metrorail opens at 7:00 A.M. on Saturday. This makes taking Metro an option for getting to the 5K on Saturday since the 5K does not start until 9:15 A.M. Make sure you get on an early train, particularly if travelling from the more outlying stations. The closest stops to the 5K staging area on Freedom Plaza are Metro Center (Red, Orange, Blue and Silver lines) and Federal Triangle (Orange, Blue and Silver Lines).
• 10 Mile: Thanks to the generosity of WMATA, Metrorail will open 2 hours early on Sunday, April 7 at 5:00 a.m., so 10 Mile runners can use Metro to get to and from the race! The closest Metrorail Station to the start and finish lines is Smithsonian Station on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines. Customers should also consider using Federal Triangle nearby, which is also on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines, or L’Enfant Plaza on the Green and Yellow lines just a short walk away.
