Official Host Hotel

Crystal Gateway Marriott

Our headquarters hotel for 2026 is the Crystal Gateway Marriott, 1700 Richmond Hwy, Arlington, VA 22202.

The Crystal Gateway Marriott will be offering a special rate to 2026 Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile & 5K participants. A link for booking a room at the special rate will be posted here when it becomes available. 

Transportation

The hotel has Metro access to the Expo/Packet Pickup at the National Building Museum:

Taking Metro to the Expo: The yellow line goes from CGM and CCM non-stop to Gallery Place, which is about five blocks to the National Building Museum. If you want to get closer, you can transfer at Gallery Place to a Red line train toward Glenmont and go one stop to Judiciary Square. You will exit directly opposite the NBM.

It is unclear at this time if Metro will open early enough on 10 Mile race morning to be used for the trip to the start. We will post more information as it becomes available.
