Event comments
Cross the Potomac River twice, circle Kennedy Center, visit Arlington Memorial Cemetery and the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial), and explore Theodore Roosevelt Island. You can do all of these on the 12-KM option for this walk, or you can do all but the TR Island loop on the 10-KM trail. The 10-KM is rated 2A because of moderate hills. The 12-KM option includes a loop around TR Island and is rated 2A because of moderate hills and some natural-surface paths. Wheelchairs will have some difficulty on longer distances; larger-wheeled strollers should be usable on all segments.
Rating: 1B, Distance: 10(2B), 12(2B)km
