Army Ten-Miler

The Army Ten-Miler is the second largest (after the Philadelphia Broad Street Run) ten-mile race in the United States. It is held every October in Washington, DC, sponsored by the U.S. Army Military District of Washington.

The annual race weekend events also include a youth run, a youth activity fair, and a pre-race pasta dinner. The race draws a large number of civilian and military running teams. The most recent race was held on October 12, 2014.

Race course

The race course is USA Track and Field certified and is mostly flat, fast and picturesque.

The race starts along Route 27 adjacent to the Pentagon and proceeds north and across the Arlington Memorial Bridge.

From there the course circles the Lincoln Memorial and goes off to the left to Constitution Avenue turning north on 19th Street and then northwest on Virginia Avenue.

At the end of Virginia Avenue, the course turns south on Rock Creek Parkway and passes underneath the Kennedy Center.

The parkway is followed to Independence Avenue near the John Ericsson Memorial. The route continues past the National World War II Memorial and the Washington Monument on the left, and the Jefferson Memorial on the right. The course continues along Independence Avenue going past the Air and Space Museum to 3rd Street where it turns north, crossing the National Mall to Pennsylvania Avenue.
