It’s Marine Corps Marathon week! NPDC has a bunch of activities planned to help runners and spectators prep for the big day, and hype them up along the way. Just show up for any or all of these events. We can’t wait to see you.
Thursday
A Mindful Taper: Bringing Joy Mindfulness (and Joy) Back to Running (Temperance Alley Garden, 7:30 AM) We run, and some of us run a lot. But we also get bored, frustrated, and doubtful. This class will help you cultivate mindfulness and reconnect you with the beauty and joy of running. Hosted by Alex Snider.
Friday
NPDC Pre-Halloween workout at the Congressional Cemetery – Wear Black/Dark colored clothing (a dash of neon if you’d like!)
*A HUGE ”Thank you” to AJ, Director of Public Engagement for supporting our workout!
6:30 AM / Meet us here
Sunday
Race: If you’re running, be sure to add yourself to our spreadsheet so we know how to spot you speeding by. Note that the Metro opens at 5am on race day, but that the yellow line remains closed and there is no train service south of National Airport. Runners should use Pentagon or Pentagon City stations (blue) to get to the start line. (More info here)
Cheer: (14th St & Jefferson Dr SW, 9:00am) Wear your best grassroots gear. Or maybe your best Halloween costume. Bring your loudest voice and your noisemakers. Closest Metro station is Smithsonian (blue & orange), and watch out for street closures on your way down!
The Afterparty: Takoda (715 Florida Ave NW), 4:30pm. Whether you ran, cheered, or neither, join us for celebratory drinks at Takoda. We’ll be on the rooftop! Bring your friends, family, or your neighbor you’ve been trying to recruit to NP. Close to Shaw-Howard Metro (green line) and plenty of busses!
Monday
Post-Race Halloween Workout // COSTUMES HIGHLY ENCOURAGED!!!
6:25 AM
