About the Event

The Kitchel Injury Law Capitol Hill Classic is an annual 10K, 3K and Fun Race—the only race run exclusively on the roads of Capitol Hill. Funds raised through the event benefit the Capitol Hill Cluster School, a DC public school serving over 1,100 students. The race started in 1980, and the 10K is the oldest and biggest in Washington, DC.

The 10K starts out in front of Peabody Primary School, just a few blocks from the US Capitol. Runners traverse Capitol Hill, passing Stanton Park, the Capitol, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, Lincoln Park, the RFK stadium campus, and the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail.

The 3K course also begins at Peabody Primary School. Runners head to East Capitol Street and trek to Lincoln Park and back.

The Fun Run is a single lap around Stanton Park (approximately a third of a mile).
