After landing in Washington, D.C., make your own way to the hotel; check-in is 4 pm. We will have FIT guide hellos in the lobby.  If arriving on Friday, we highly recommend morning flight arrivals so you can arrive to the hotel, settle in, and get ready for race weekend.

If you arrive before your room is ready, opt to take a walk, explore the local area, or head out to visit an area monument! 

For those on our 4-night package, your Washington D.C. city tour awaits! Join your expert local guide for a historic tour taking you through D.C. past the Pentagon, by the White House, and along the Mall to the Monument, and beyond.  At the conclusion of the city tour we will head over to the expo to pick up bibs. The tour concludes back at the Hyatt. Tour is combination bus/walking tour with transit to/from the race expo*. Rest of the day free to return to the expo on your own or explore more of the D.C. landmarks. 

For those on our 3-night package, welcome to D.C.! We will be in the lobby to greet you this afternoon. Check-in is at 4PM, but if you arrive earlier, please feel free to leave your luggage at reception and head out to explore the city or visit the expo.

*Bus will depart from expo at a specific time - for those that wish to stay longer, return transit is on your own.

This morning join us for an optional shakeout run (all levels/paces are welcome).

The rest of the day is free to explore the city, head back to the expo, or simply relax! Tonight, join FIT for our pre-race dinner before heading back to get a good night's rest before race day.

Time to run the 2026 Marine Corps Marathon! Enjoy the day on the course racing, running, walking, or spectating! Best of luck to all the competitors and a big thanks to all the supporters.  

Later opt to join your FITguides and fellow FITtravelers for shared stories of the day at our FITfinish celebration! 

Congratulations on your marathon experience! We hope that you enjoyed your time in D.C. and wish you a safe journey home or on your continued adventures!
