Cherry Blossom 10M Entry Up For Grabs

A friend of mine in DC has recently developed a stress fracture and can no longer run CB this weekend. Does anyone want her spot? I'm assuming it's a non-seeded entry.

Now it starts and finishes in the middle of the mall? Strange.

What's the nearest Metro stop, Smithsonian?; April 3, 2009 at 1:22 PM
///MM said...: It used to finish over by Jefferson, last year was the first one to finish by the castle.
Smithsonian is the closest stop but they may close it (they did last year) so it doesn't get dangerously crowded. L'Enfant Plaza and Fed Triangle are usually the best ones to use.
Or... I just looked and the site says that Smithsonian is open.

RM said...: I am staying in DC Saturday night, and taking the train there and back...so I'm not much help!

Z, I took a look at the stuff. I realized I missed last year's race and didn't see the course. I might even run over to the start in the morning, I don't think it'll be too far.; April 3, 2009 at 3:28 PM
