There is plenty going on in the District this weekend, as lovely spring weather finally begins to stick. Make sure to keep these road closures in mind as you are traveling to your Saturday plans.
The PanCAN PurpleStride 5K will be taking place in downtown D.C. to honor those affected by pancreatic cancer and funding early testing for the disease. A map of the run/walk event is below.
The main event takes place in the nation’s capital but there will be over 60 events to promote PurpleStride across the nation, all organized by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network.
The Washington Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi will also be throwing the Kappa En Blanc, an all-white soiree that will take place at the historic Kappa house between Dupont Circle and U St.
The event kicks off the historically African American fraternity’s celebrations for the 100 year anniversary of the Washington chapter’s founding.
The D.C. police road closures and traffic impacts for both events are outlined below.
