About the Spring Strip:
Spring Strip is a one-of-a-kind clothing drive. Three 'strip stations' along the 5k course (optional) and one at the finish line provide you an opportunity to do a little spring cleaning and donate to a good cause at the same time. Join RacePacket for this fun flat 5K run along the C&O Canal Towpath starting and finishing at the Alexandria Aqueduct in Georgetown.
Happy Hour Packet Pick-up and Post-Race Brunch:
Get to know your fellow runners before the race on Sunday! Join the RacePacket team and all those racing with us on Sunday at packet pick-up and happy hour at Mr. Smith's - the friendliest restaurant and piano bar in town.

Throughout your run, you’ll pass checkpoints, known affectionately as “Strip Stations,” where you’ll be asked to donate an article of clothing to be given to America’s veterans in need.
