Capitol Hill Classic 10K, 3K cause traffic closures around Lincoln Park

The 43rd NCB Capitol Hill Classic will take place Sunday, shutting down major roads from the Supreme Court to RFK Stadium. The 10K, 3K and fun run are also raising money for local students, closing the school funding gap for Capitol Hill Cluster School.

The 10K starts bright and early, at 8:30 a.m. The rest of the races will immediately follow each other, with the 3K starting when the 10K ends and a third of a mile fun run around Stanton Park beginning right after the 3K.

The races are expected to wrap up before Sunday afternoon, but some road closures will last till 1 p.m. The 10K route, which is causing the most closures, is below.
