Pentagon Station to open one hour late, buses relocated for Army Ten-Miler Sunday, Oct. 9

On Sunday, Oct. 9, the Pentagon Station will open one hour late to accommodate the Army Ten-Miler. The station will be closed from opening until 8 a.m., as the race will be using a staggered start for health and safety reasons to minimize crowds. Blue Line trains will bypass the Pentagon Station, passing through the station without stopping.

Customers traveling to the race should use the Pentagon City Station as an alternative. The Pentagon Transit Center will also be closed until approximately 2 p.m. and all Metrobuses relocated to Pentagon City.

In addition six stations south of Reagan National Airport - King St-Old Town, Braddock Rd, Eisenhower Ave, Huntington, Van Dorn St and Franconia-Springfield - are closed for Major Blue and Yellow line construction. Free shuttle buses are being provided. Express shuttle buses between Huntington/Franconia-Springfield and Pentagon will instead be diverted to Crystal City where customers can connect to rail service.

Participants with early start times and spectators are reminded that Metrorail will operate on a normal Sunday schedule, opening at 7 a.m., and should plan accordingly.

Additional Metrobus routes will also be temporarily detoured due to road closures associated with the race.
