2025 Spring 10K Training Program

The DC Road Runners Club (DCRRC) is excited to open registration for our Spring 10K Training Program. Targeting the Capitol Hill Classic 10K ‪on Sunday, May 18, 2025. The program is free for current members of DC Road Runners and $35 for non-members. Non-members will receive a DC Road Runners' membership with registation. 

The training program begins Saturday, March 15, 2025 and officially ends May 18, 2025. Group runs will meet every Saturday through May 11, 2025 (one week before the Capitol Hill Classic). 

Saturday group runs will meet at 8:00 a.m. at North Meade Street Park, which is across the street from the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial in Rosslyn, Virginia. We will also have group track runs throughout the training program.  Coaches will provide more details on track runs as training progresses. 

All paces are welcome! We encourage beginner, intermediate, and advanced runners to join us. Our beginner program will focus on training participants to finish a 10K. The intermediate and advanced programs will focus on meeting a specific time goal in a 10K and will include workouts designed to increase your overall pace. For the intermediate and advanced programs, trainees should be running a minimum of 20 milies a week. If you're not sure where you fit, your coaches are happy to discuss which program is the best for you.

Registration is now open to non-members! As part of registration, non-members will receive a DC Road Runners membership through November 30, 2025. Note: if you qualify for the student or family membership, it may be cheaper to first join DCRR, and then register under the member rate. 

What's included in the training program?

  • Coaching for your pace and fitness level--we encourage beginners, intermediate, and advanced runners to train with us
  • Weekly training runs to include track workouts for our intermediate and advanced runners
  • Social opportunities throughout training season
  • Motivation and camaraderie found only with a training group    

If you have not run a 10K before, we strongly recommend that you consult your physician prior to entering this program. Registration is open to participants 18 years of age and older as of the start of the program. 

Weather Policy: Safety is our number one priority. A race, training run, or other event may be canceled, delayed, suspended or postponed, or the course may be modified in the event of threatening weather conditions that could make the run unsafe for participants. Such threatening weather conditions may include: lightning, heavy rains, wind / tornadoes, extreme heat, ice / snow, or other major weather conditions. Extreme heat is defined as a heat index that meets or exceeds 105 °F at the time of the event or run. Lightning strikes within one mile of the planned course are considered threatening. It is up to the race director or run leader to determine whether the conditions are threatening and communicate any decision to alter the event or run to participants.
