Convention Races

• Make Fitness Part of Your Convention!
  A 5K race and fun walk are a great way to build camaraderie and promote fitness among your convention attendees. Capital Running Company offers a full range of services to assist you with your event, including permits, transportation, catering, awards, timing and scoring, and all other aspects of the race.
  
  We have three different venues in the Washington, DC metro area suitable for convention races on weekdays. The list below links to pages with descriptions of each site.
• Anacostia Park
  Located along the banks of the Anacostia River in Washington, DC, Anacostia Park offers residents and visitors a variety of activities and settings.
• Belle Haven Park (Alexandria, VA)
  This park is located in Alexandria, Virginia, just a few miles south of Old Town, and directly across the Potomac River from Washington, DC. The course uses a portion of the Mount Vernon Trail, a hiker-biker trail that runs approximately seventeen miles from Mount Vernon to Theodore Roosevelt Island. Belle Haven Park is conveniently located next to the Potomac River, along the George Washington Memorial Parkway, and features indoor restroom facilities and ample parking areas.
• Rock Creek Park
  Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC is one of the oldest and largest urban parks. Its nearly 3,000 acres include streams, flood plains, woodlands and meadows. It supports a variety of vegetation and provides a refuge for many animals that could not normally survive in the city. For most visitors, Rock Creek Park serves as a green oasis within the concrete and asphalt sprawl that is the Nation's Capital. It provides the people of the Washington, D.C. area a retreat from the hustle and bustle of urban life. An asphalt hiker-biker trail runs the length of the park and connects with many other unpaved trails. This venue is best suited for smaller groups whose conventions are held in the Omni Shoreham, Marriott Wardman Park, or other nearby hotels.
