Event comments

Dogs are not allowed in Arlington Cemetery. Loop 1: This loop starts and stops at the Residence Inn. Explore the commercial and governmental neighborhoods of Courthouse and Rosslyn. You will pass by the Marine Corps Memorial (The Iwo Jima Statue) and the Netherlands Carillon, and have spectacular views of the major monuments of Washington DC. Wheelchairs will have extreme difficulty on this section, strollers should be able to navigate this section, but significant hills exist in Arlington. Loop 2: This loop does not start or stop at the Residence Inn. From the Netherlands Carillon, a loop into Arlington National Cemetery brings you to the major attractions, including the Visitors Center, the Womens Memorial, the Kennedy graves, the Amphitheater (site of the presidential Veterans Day ceremonies), the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and Arlington House, built by the grandson of Martha Washington and home of Robert E. Lee. Wheelchairs will have extreme difficulty on this section, strollers should be able to navigate this section, but significant hills exist in The Cemetery. Loop 3: This loop starts and stops at the Residence Inn. Explore the residential neighborhoods of Clarendon and Lyon Village before returning to the start point through the commercial areas of Virginia Square and back to Clarendon, with numerous food and beverage opportunities along the way. Wheelchairs and strollers will have some difficulty on this section but local construction poses a greater challenge as sidewalks could be closed at any time. Walkers should have ample restroom opportunities along the trail.
