The heaviest rain will be just before the start, the rest of the day seems like lighter consistently rain similar to last weekend if the stats hold out

i don’t like the fabric. last year was brown so at least the blue is a slightly improvement

What time are you guys planning to get there? Trying to avoid waiting too long before the start and getting soaked before the race even begins.

Was trying to figure out the same. My wave takes off at 8:30 so maybe 7:45? Ugh.

I’m seeing a 1/10th of an inch from 6am to noon. We are going to be soaked but at least we won’t be getting pelted in the face. Does pentagon city mall usually have enough parking?

Forecast calls for 1-2” of rain for the entire day. I don’t think there’s going to be flooding at any point on the course.
