53rd Annual Credit Union Cherry Blossom (CUCB) 10 Mile Race

Every spring, Congressional Cemetery blooms with new life as we welcome the reawakening of our environmental treasures, including several species of DC's iconic cherry blossom trees! These beautiful spring hallmarks punctuate every spring in DC with their stunning beauty. While typically associated with the tidal basin, Congressional Cemetery has dozens of beloved cherry blossoms from several different species, including Yoshino, Kanzan, and Okame trees. Truly, our cherry blossoms hold a special place in our hearts.

Get ready for a world-class challenge in Virginia's Blue Ridge. This race has more elevation change than any other road race in America. The course is a celebration of the human spirit, its toughness is only matched only by the scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the hospitality you will experience along the way.
