📍Washington D.C.
with Read & Run on the Road organizer Chelsey Stone
Running the Marine Corps Marathon this October? There’s no better way to shakeout before the race than connecting with fellow marathoners and running to significant Civil Wars sites in D.C.! Over just 2 miles with Read & Run on the Road organizer Chelsey Stone, you’ll see monuments, buildings, and museums off the beaten path dedicated to memorializing the Civil War. The route ends at the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum for a 30 minute private, staff-led tour.

Tickets available on Eventbrite or Chelsey Stone’s website.
