Metro's opening at the crack of dawn as thousands of runner descend onto the streets of DC for the 34th Annual Marine Corps Marathon, which will shut down more than a few streets in the area.
More than 22,000 runners are expected to participate in this year's 26.2-mile race, which begins just before 8 a.m. Sunday on the National Mall. The 10K run goes past the Washington Monument, the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, and the Pentagon. It starts at 8:30 a.m.
Metro opened its doors at 5 a.m., two hours earlier than usual, for the event. If you're taking Metrobus, be aware that 24 routes in the District and Virginia have been rerouted.
