The Office of the Surgeon General of the United States, the World Affairs Council of Washington DC, American Volkssport Association Club 901, the Embassies and Arlington County will be hosting their 15th Annual International Freedom Walk Festival this month.
The three-day event will feature walking trails and a marathon. The walk will be a noncompetitive military and civil affair that will take the participants on a tour of US monuments, memorials, architecture, and parks. Each day of the event will have a different tour.
The first evening, walkers will meander down west side of the Potomac River in the Welcome Walk.
The second day, the trails will take walkers through the National Mall, Arlington Cemetery, by the embassies, and to memorials. They will also swing by the legislative, judicial, and executive federal offices. The marathon, which will also be that day, will have part of its 44km course through DC and then continue on to trails in Arlington.
The final day, the 3, 6, and 12-mile walks will be along the C&O Canal and surrounding parks.
The event is scheduled rain or shine for October 16 through 18, and all tours will begin at the Holiday Inn, Rosslyn at Key Bridge, 1900 N Fort Myer Drive, Arlington. Check times on the Brochures that can be viewed at the event’s website.
