RACE DAY SUPPORT
Morning Gear Check
The OAR tent will be set up in the Charity Village area on race day and is a perfect, secure location for all RUN FOR AUTISM runners to leave items they will need before or after the race.
In addition, family members can use the tent as a central location to rally before they cheer you on and greet you as you finish on your big day. The Charity Village will be located near the Netherlands Carillon on the hill adjacent to the Marine Corps War Memorial. We strongly recommend checking your gear at the OAR tent rather than the MCM bag drop. The OAR tent is closer to the Start and Finish Lines and will be more readily accessible after the race. If you plan on dropping off your gear at the OAR tent, please use the Rosslyn metro station.
Location: The exact location of the OAR tent will be announced before race day.
Finishers’ Celebration - The ideal location meet family and friends!
Once you have finished the race, come back to the OAR tent at the Charity Village and revel in your accomplishment with other team members.
You can take photos and share your stories with the family, friends, volunteers, and the OAR staff. Fruit, drinks, and other refreshments will be provided.
If you have used the tent for a place to leave warm clothes and personal items, they will be secure while you run and ready for pickup.
