Key turns:
- Within the first mile, Capital Crescent will intersect with Jones Mill Rd. Cross the street and then make a left on Jones Mill. If you cross the wooden bridge, then you missed the turn.
- Make a quick right on Susanna Ln after Jones Mill.
- Run on Susanna and it will merge with Rock Creek Trail. Stay on the left side of the trail (don’t go toward DC).
- About 3 miles into the run, stay on the trail and take the underpass to cross Connecticut Avenue.
- The first aid station will be about 4 miles into the run, at the intersection of Ceder Ln & Beach Dr.
- Turnaround will be at the intersection of Knowles Rd (if you want to get exactly 12 miles, cross Knowles Rd and run 80 meters before you turn)
- You will pass the aid station again at mile 8.
In addition to the aid station, there are 2 water fountains along the course. First water fountain is at the intersection Beach & Old Spring Rd (about 2.5 miles into the course) and the second water fountain is at the intersection of Cedar Ln and Beach Dr (about 4 miles into the course).
