10th Annual Capital Running Company Veterans Day 10K

Capital Running Company’s Veterans Day 10K was set on the warmest day ever on the West Potomac course that began in 1998. The field of 1946 finishers is the highest total ever. Elite athletes Abiyot Endale (30:11) and Samia Akbar (33:40) won $500 each for 1st place in a race that paid the top ten racers and the top masters cash for their prowess. Age group winners got a great sweatshirt that was not really needed on a day that saw temperatures rise to more than 70 degrees.
