Join the New York Road Runners for the first annual Thomas G. Labrecque Classic on Sunday, November 20 at 8:00 am in Washington, DC's West Potomac Park.

Runners will compete for a total prize purse of $4,000 with the top male and female winning $1,000 each. Second and third place will receive $600 and $400 respectively! All entrants will receive a technical race shirt. Prizes will also be awarded to age group winners to 90 and above!

The event includes a 4-mile competitive race and a 2-mile Health Walk, which will start at 8:05 am. The event benefits lung cancer research.

The 4-mile run course is an out-and-back on a very flat, fast course. From the start in West Potomac Park, just south of the Lincoln Memorial, runners will cross the Inlet Bridge and run along the Potomac River, almost to the tip of Hains Point in East Potomac Park. Reverse direction at the 2-mile mark, and return to the finish line in West Potomac Park. The Health Walk starts and finishes at the same place as the race, and follows a route around the Jefferson Memorial.
