Question 1

Are the training runs mandatory?

Accepted Answer

No, they are not. The training runs are a chance for you to meet the team and experience the DC area with others. Attendance at the last training run, likely a week before the race, is ideal, but we understand not everyone can make it. A light breakfast will be provided on the run days.

Question 2

Do I need to be a veteran or first responder to sign up?

Accepted Answer

Yes, under the funding restrictions we are only allowing registrants who are part of the active duty military (or veteran) and first responder community to sign up. Eligible first responders are fire, EMS, and law enforcement. If you have a question on eligibility please email us.
