Friday March 13, 2026

On Saturday, March 21, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Marathon and 5K (course maps below) will take place in DC with parts of the race route coming through Mount Vernon Triangle. In conjunction with the event, there will be numerous parking restrictions and street closures, including the following that are specific to our area:

  • K Street NW from North Capitol Street NW to 4th Street NW from 6:30am until as late as 1:15pm; and
  • 4th Street NW from K Street NW to E Street NW from 6:30am until as late as 1:30pm.

For larger course maps and other important race and road closure information, check out the official event website, view this interactive map, and follow DC Police Traffic on X.

Race organizers have recommended using the official event-sponsored Waze app as your navigation tool for the day, or use Metro on the morning of the event. Please be advised that street closures for this race can make it difficult to drive through the city – plan to give yourself extra time.
