Folks, apologies, I had the wrong details for tomorrow’s run. Correct route is below:
16 miles → Start at the Iwo Jima Memorial, head down to the Francis Scott Key Bridge, then go south along the Rock Creek Trail to the National Mall. From there, loop around the White House, return to the Mall, and continue east to the front of the Capitol (water available here). Turn back down the Mall, cut south for the loop around Hains Point / East Potomac Park (water + bathrooms available), then return north along the Rock Creek Trail, cross the Key Bridge, and finish at Iwo Jima.
