This Veterans Day (Sunday, November 11, 2007), join the Washington, DC Masonic Lodges and Capital Running Company in honoring our country's veterans in the eighth annual Veterans Day 10K, benefiting Helping Our Heroes Foundation! The race starts at 8:00 am and will take place in West Potomac Park near the Tidal Basin and FDR Memorial in Washington, DC.

A fun walk of approximately 2.25 miles is available for those who want to participate but do not want to attempt the 10K distance. The walk course will circle the Tidal Basin, passing the Jefferson Memorial. The walk will begin immediately after the 10K runners clear the start line.

T-Shirts
Long-sleeved, 100% cotton t-shirts with a colorful, patriotic design will be given to all registrants.

Refreshments
Food and hot beverages will be provided following the race for all participants and volunteers. Water will be provided on course near the two and four-mile marks, and at the start/finish lines.

The Sergeant's Program
The Sergeant's Program will be there in full color to warm up participants before the race. When you finish the race, swing over and challenge yourself to the Sergeant's Push Up, Pull Up and Sit Up contest. They even have a medicine ball throw contest. You don't want to miss this!
