Getting Here?
With the limited on-street parking in and around Congressional Cemetery, the easiest way to get to the race is either via metro, metrobus, bike, bikeshare, or rideshare; if you're relying on Metro, remember that Metro now opens up at 7:00 AM on Sundays. Take the Blue, Silver, or Orange lines to Potomac Avenue or Stadium-Armory and walk to 18th St SE and E St SE. If you're navigating via bikeshare or rideshare, your destination is 1801 E St SE.
