On Metro

  • Trains will start running an hour early (7 a.m.) on Sunday, and additional Blue Line trains will be running before and after the race.
  • All bus service operating to and from the Pentagon will be relocated to Pentagon City until around 2 p.m.
  • Because the Pentagon station is expected to be crowded, riders are advised to use the Pentagon City station instead. Pentagon will be exit only 7–9 a.m. If it’s too crowded there, trains may temporarily bypass it to Pentagon City.
