We’re happy to support the region in many big ways, and one is the Army Ten-Miler! Last year, Metro moved thousands of participants and we’re ready to do it again on Sunday. #RunArmyRunStrong

Nearest Metro station? Pentagon 📍

Two men, smiling, wear Army Ten-Miler shirts, medals, and race numbers (9796 and 15130). They're posing, arms around each other, in what appears to be a metro station. The race date is October 8, 2023.
