Races are selected by RunWashington at the beginning of the season; we choose approximately 100 races a year to be a ranked race based on the following criteria: event organization, competitiveness, schedule, value to DC running calendar, results access, proximity to Washington, D.C. and other factors. All races must be on certified courses and must be electronically timed. Only races 5k-half marathon in the DC metro area will be considered.

*ATTENTION RUNNERS: Both the AIDS Walk 5K and the Race to End Women’s Cancer 8K are no longer considered ranked races as both events independently chose not to collect age and sex data during their registration since they were not doing age group awards.
