- There's no better way to go "National" then
the brand new Washington
Nationals ballpark. Debuting to the
general public for the first time just
hours after the race on March 29th, Nationals
Park not only redefines modern sports
facility architecture but also serves
as the catalyst and cornerstone of a
new mixed-use Capitol Riverfront in our
nation's capital.
- Also near by is Fort
McNair, boisting a 200+ year history;
third only to West Point and Carlisle
Barracks in length of service.
- Miles 20 to 21 will take you
on to the historic Anacostia
Riverwalk Trail, complete with a
comprehensive trail system, including
bicycle and pedestrian trails along the
Anacostia River.
