Course Map
ChronoTrack Timing and Scoring
Transponder timing operated by Capital Running Company will be used to score the 10K race. The system uses a computer tag which must be tied to each runners' shoelaces, and records the exact time a runner crosses the starting line and the finish line, resulting in a net time for each runner. Overall awards will be based upon clock time and age group awards will be based upon transponder times.
Hazardous Weather
While every effort will be made to conduct the event, the race will be cancelled if the weather is judged to be hazardous to the safety of participants and spectators. Entry fees will not be refunded if the event is cancelled.

About ZERO — The Project to End Prostate Cancer
ZERO challenges the complacency of American men to change their attitudes about early detection as the solution for prostate cancer through awareness, outreach, advocacy and research. The Washington, DC metro area leads the country in prostate cancer death rates.
More About Prostate Cancer
Nationwide, a man dies from the disease every 18 minutes. But there is hope - education about prostate cancer risk and access to screenings can save countless lives. All proceeds will go to prostate research and free screenings in the Washington, DC area to those at risk.
