2025 Early Bird Extension

In the spirit of celebrating Christmas in July, we are pleased to announce that we are extending early bird registration rates for the National Capital 20 Miler. Our discounted registration rates will now run through July 15, 2025. Standard registration rates will begin on July 16, 2025.

Important Reminders

Please register early to be guaranteed our excellent race swag. As we get closer to the race date, particularly in mid-September, it will become progressively more difficult to guarantee swag for every participant. Runners can always transfer to the Janet Braunstein 5 Miler if necessary. Contact the race directors if you have any questions about the transfer process.

Similarly, elite runners can submit qualifying finishing times for complimentary registration consideration. Spots are limited, though, so please submit requests sooner rather than later.

Finally, please consider becoming a member of DC Road Runners. We welcome new members.
