The National Women’s Half Marathon and 8K will start and finish at West Potomac Park in the heart of the excitement that is Washington DC!

The National Women’s Half Marathon & 8K Road Race will use a wave start system in West Potomac Park on Ohio Drive.  The Half Marathon will consist of 5 separate wave starts while the 8K Road Race will have 3 separate wave start times. Runners will self-seed themselves into groups along Ohio Drive and West Potomac Park according to your estimated Half Marathon & 8K finish times. Each group will be staged in holding corrals prior to the start of their group. All runners competing in the Half Marathon must be past the start timing mat by no later than 7:15am (estimated) in order to allow the 8K runners to move up to start at 7:20am (tentative start). Please follow the instructions of the starting line volunteers and look for the large pace signs and our “Official Pacer” Pace Team Members in each Corral!
