MOUNT VERNON, VA – Dash through history during the area’s most unique 10K/5K, presented by Lockheed Martin on September 9. The race course, certified by USA Track & Field, takes runners up and down the scenic George Washington Memorial Parkway and traces Washington's footsteps through the historic grounds at Mount Vernon. Take a finisher photo with General Washington and enjoy concessions, music, and beer. There will be an awards ceremony for the top finishers, including cannons firing on the 12-Acre Field.
