7 Best DC Running Routes (and How to Get the Most Out of Them)

DC is packed with scenic paths for every runner, from the National Mall Loop to the Mount Vernon Trail. Whether you’re training for a race or simply enjoying the view, a little preparation before you lace up can make your miles feel smoother and more enjoyable.

Before you run:
Try a short dynamic warm-up—moves like leg swings, walking lunges, or gentle skips—to get your muscles activated and ready for the miles ahead.

After your run:
Your body will thank you for rehydrating, fuelling with nutritious food, and getting quality sleep. Foam rolling can also be a great way to temporarily ease muscle soreness after a long run.
