The DESTINATION race down the street…
What do you look for when choosing a destination race? An iconic course? History? A change of scenery? Certainly a good after party with fresh beer from a local brewery.
The PNC Parkway Classic has all of the above and more, making it one of the classic 10 Mile races in the country and one that just so happens to be in your backyard, giving you the experience of a destination race without having to go to the airport.
Here are some more reasons why The PNC Parkway Classic is a can’t miss event…
National Park course
The George Washington Memorial Parkway is a National Park site that was created in 1930 to link significant parts of American history while preserving natural habitat. The lush parkway course gives runners a sense of escape from the major metropolitan area surrounding it on all sides. And because its in a park, the road is wide and offers plenty of space for runners, giving you the chance to enjoy all the scenery without stumbling over the people around you.
Post Race Party
With a complimentary beverage from Port City Brewing, views of the Potomac and music, the post-race party is one you’ll want to stick around for.
Family Friendly
10 Miler too far? The kids need something to do? We got you. In addition to the 10 Miler, The PNC Parkway Classic also features a 5K and Kids Dash option giving you a reason to bring the whole family and enjoy the day running through Old Town Alexandria.
Historic
Like our race course, American history weaves its way throughout the streets of Alexandria, Virginia. A popular hangout of America’s founding fathers and early members of government, Alexandria is among the most historically significant towns in the country.
Jus outside of town, the PNC Parkway Classic begins just steps away form George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, home of the first president of the United States.
