Information on the Marine Corps Marathon
Directions to Pentagon Parking Lots
The north and south Pentagon parking lots will be open and free to runners and spectators on Sunday. Shuttles will ferry runners from the south lot to the start from 6 to 8:30 a.m. and will bring runners back from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Spectators should plan to take Metro from the Pentagon to the start, because the marathon shuttle buses will be reserved for runners wearing race numbers.

Metro Information
Metro will open at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday to accommodate marathon runners and spectators. Two stops are within walking distance of the start: Rosslyn, on the blue and orange lines, and Arlington Cemetery on the blue line. Because the course is closed to traffic during the race, Metro is also the best way for spectators to see the race from various vantage points.
