    When I received an email from the race organizers at around 6am on race day that said the…read morefollowing, "because of the combination of high heat and humidity and for YOUR SAFETY today's LHH 10K race is being changed to a 5K race." I knew what group of people I had to send that message to for a good laugh: TEXANS. After reading a couple of snarky comments about how they would make the race longer in Texas on a perfect 90 degree and 90 percent humidity day, I was ready to get my sweat on. When I started training the day before I was looking forward to the challenge of a 10k, but I'll take a 5k. Despite the fact that the race is always organized during the hottest times of the year and they act suprised when the weather doesn't cooperate, the race is very well organized (a race that involves lawyers has to be), and benefits The American Heart Association. They have packet pick up the day of, the course starts at the beautiful harbor in Georgetown, lots of give aways, and lots of water stops. They even had ice sponges to prevent you from overheating, see that's proof that lawyers do have a heart and most of them aren't cold blooded! I recommend this race not only for the charity it benefits, but for the fact it is one of the last few races you can do before the running dead season in the summer.

    This year the 10K was changed to a 5K last minute due to heat as the other yelper mentioned, I was…read morea little disappointed at first as this was going to be my first 10K race, but it's a race full of lawyers so I won't judge.. and I ran a 5K PR. Packet pick up was a breeze and my buddy and I found parking pretty easily the day of the race. My main gripe was with the layout of the corrals and where everything else was. It seemed like where ever you wanted to go, it was on the opposite side of the corrals/finish line. We picked up safety pins by the waterfront and had to push our way past the starting line into the corrals. We finished the race and wanted some coffee.... other side of the finish line. It would also be nice if at least a portion of this race was on M street since it is in Georgetown... not that the Whitehurst Freeway isn't scenic and all. Pros: Post race goodies General location Ice Sponges!! Course change communicated prior to leaving for race Not many kids/dogs/walkers Cons: Layout made getting around very hard Course not scenic considering location All in all, unless a 10K was a good fit with another training plan I have going on at the time, I think I will skip this one in the future.

    This race was so much fun. At one end was a stage where the drag queens performed. On the…read moreopposite end was the race finish line. I got to the finish line about two hours before because I wanted to see what the big deal was. The entire time you see the costumes of the runners as they walk up and down the street. There were a couple of Beyonces, Melania Trumps, Donald Trumps, the lasted comic characters, and some people I couldnt figure out what they were. Then the race starts. The drag queen who won looks like a professional runner. He was a light speed ahead of the other runners. He was in it to win it. You can go by yourself if you want. But if you do go, do not go with a bunch of people. Take one or two friends and preferably your tall friends. You will enjoy it.

    Yes yes yes. This event was amazing. There is quite a crowd so short people might want to get a…read morespot early like an hour before. But what fun. For an hour before the race starts you start to see drag queens walk up and down the street (17th between P and R). There is music and laughter. This is an overall enjoyable event that breaks up very quickly after it is over. No bathrooms available unless you go into local businesses. No seating available, standing room only. You can request assistance if needed. The actual race only lasts 10-15 min but it is so exciting. It is so fun to watch people express themselves in different costumes from Halloween, pop, political, eccentric, movie themes, etc! Plenty of people took a tumble towards the end of the race. And in general, the contestants were okay with pictures. A must in the DC area around Halloween!
