The Army Ten-Miler starts and finishes in the Pentagon lots. Spectators should use Metro and pick one or two spots on the Mall or in Georgetown rather than driving.
Best places to stand
Local guides highlight M Street in Georgetown (miles 2-3), the Watergate Steps near the Lincoln Memorial, Independence Avenue on the National Mall, and the start/finish at the Pentagon with a designated Reunion Area.
- Early: Georgetown on M Street.
- Middle: Watergate Steps or National Mall (Smithsonian / L'Enfant Plaza Metro).
- Finish: Pentagon North Lot Reunion Area (alphabet tents).
- Transit: Pentagon or Pentagon City Metro (Blue/Yellow).
Getting there
Metro is recommended. Pentagon station opens early; some trains bypass it at peak. Free parking at nearby garages. Security screening applies; no large bags.
Where to meet
Use the Reunion Area in the Pentagon North Lot (alphabet signs). Agree on a letter range before the race. Cell service is heavy near the finish.
