Historic Congressional Cemetery was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011 and continues to build upon the legacy of over 200 years of American history. The cemetery is administered by the nonprofit Association for the Preservation of Historic Congressional Cemetery and owned by Christ Church + Washington Parish. The association is constantly striving to maintain the historic, cultural, and aesthetic qualities of this natural landscape along the Anacostia River. Hundreds of volunteers each year help preserve the cemetery and further its nonprofit mission

For second entries purchased on race day, inquire at the day-of registration table for a coupon code to receive the discount at checkout. BikeReg assesses a service charge for each entry purchased. A surcharge of $10.00 will be assessed for adult riders purchasing their first entry on race day; for Junior riders the surcharge will be $5.00. Entry fees are non-refundable.
RACE DAY REGISTRATION & CHECK-IN: Race-day registration and rider check-in will be located near the start/finish area. Riders must check in and collect their race numbers prior to competing. Check-in will open at least 1 hour prior to the start of the first scheduled race and will close 20 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of each race.
Please arrive early to allow sufficient time for parking, check-in, number pickup, and course familiarization.
Entry fees will be collected only through BikeReg. There will be no in-person sales at the event. Riders who pre-register by the Thursday 8:30 AM closing of pre-registration will have pre-assigned bibs, and will receive email notification of their bib numbers prior to race day; riders who register after the page re-opens will be assigned bibs at the event. If you are pre-registered, please memorize your bib number; if you have a USA Cycling Annual license, please pull the license up on your phone before you get in line to check in.
PRO TIP #1: don't wait until you go to register (or worse, until race day) to renew your USAC racing license, as it can take a couple of days for the renewal to propagate through the USAC system before BikeReg (and we!) can see it.
PRO TIP #2: hands-down, the best way to always have your USAC racing license on-hand is to add it to your Google or Apple wallet. Login to your USAC account to get started.
If you miss the closing of pre-registration, you must complete the registration process on BikeReg when the page re-opens, then wait to receive your confirmation email before getting in line to check in at the event. Present your confirmation, along with your USA Cycling racing license (or if you are racing on a 1-Day license, your BikeReg receipt), and we will issue your bib. Registration will be open for each category until 20 minutes prior to the scheduled start of the race. Don't be “that guy/gal” – plan ahead and arrive timely!
START TIMES: All race start times are estimates and may be adjusted based on race-day conditions, field sizes, or unforeseen circumstances. Participants should listen for announcements and remain near the staging area prior to their scheduled events.
WEATHER: The event will be held rain or shine. Race officials reserve the right to modify, shorten, delay, or cancel races if conditions are determined to be unsafe.
COMBINED CATEGORY RACES will race together as one field, and will be uploaded to USA Cycling and road-results as a single field, but will be scored separately for podiums and prize lists. The Junior fields will start separately by 2 age groups, and will be scored separately. The Masters 45+ field will start 1 minute ahead of the Masters 55+/65+ field, and each age group will be scored separately for podiums and prize lists.
SPECTATORS: Spectators are encouraged to attend and enjoy the racing from designated viewing areas around the course. Please remain clear of the race roadway and follow all instructions from race officials and volunteers.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS: We would like to thank Alexandria City High School, First Baptist Church of Alexandria, the City of Alexandria, our volunteers, sponsors and local cycling community for helping make this event possible.
