METRO

Race Participants Warned of Track Work, Crowds

Metro is urging participants in the 19th annual Komen National Race for the Cure on Saturday to add at least 30 minutes to their travel schedule because of track work on the Yellow and Green lines. Metro will open at 5 a.m., two hours early, to accommodate participants. The race, held downtown, begins at 8 a.m.

Participants attending the 6:45 a.m. pre-race rally should use the Federal Center SW Station on the Orange and Blue lines or the Judiciary Square Station on the Red Line. Participants arriving for the race should use Metro Center on the Red, Orange and Blue lines; Archives-Navy Memorial-Penn Quarter on the Green and Yellow lines; or Federal Triangle on the Orange and Blue lines.

The Smithsonian, Federal Center and Archives stations are likely to be among the busiest on race day, so riders should consider using nearby stations, such as Metro Center, L'Enfant Plaza or Union Station.
