Hit the Ground Running

DC Run

Sure you run. From killers. From creditors. From crazy petitioners. (Do you have a moment to save a kitten?)

But you wouldn’t call that a “fun run.”

Luckily, DC Run can motivate you to enjoy pounding the pavement. Whether you’re an expert tracker or just starting, they’ll help you get into the groove.

Here’s how it works: They hook you up with an experienced hoofer for a jogging tour through the city, mixing the business of exercise with the pleasure of sightseeing. Each run is customized, so you’re in control of where, when, and how fast.

Spending the day with a visiting track star? Tread through downtown with stops at all the monuments. Preparing for a big race? They’ll map out portions of the course for you to test your mettle. Thinking about a move across town? Try a jog through the area and discover the best parts of the hood.

Your guide comes equipped with water bottles, digicam, goodie bag with runner’s treats, and uncommon knowledge of the D.C. streets.

So you’re sure to outrun the evildoers.
