Pin It

After you've conquered the Challenge, the fun continues at the Finish Line Festival! Relax with your team, grab drinks, play some games, soak up the sun, and jam to live music at The Fairgrounds, the block-long party site across from Nationals Park!


At the Festival, you'll enjoy live music, outdoor games, our awards ceremony, voting in our huge costume contest, a shaded pavilion, and tons of food and drink choices!

Entry to the Festival is included in your race registration.

Live Music

We'll have live music throughout the Finish Line Festival, the lineup will be announced soon!

Food Options

Instead of just one or two options to suit everyone's taste, we want to make sure there's a wide variety to please anyone's palate. So we've invited the best of DC's expanding fleet of gourmet food trucks to come down to the festival. Here's our current lineup of delicious options--which will you choose?

**This year's food trucks are TBD...if you have a favorite you want us to arrange, let us know!--we'll have 8 or 9 options, more than last year!

Drink Options

The Fairgrounds are cutting our Challengers a great deal--all their domestic bottles of beer are $2 off, so just $4 each. Buy a few!

Costume Contest

The costume contest works like this: we'll invite all the teams that would like to participate in the costume contest to line up in front of the stage.  Then the crowd gets to vote and we'll announce the big winners. The top ten get cash prizes from $50 to $300!
