New Route Unveiled for 2026 Cherry Blossom 5K

The Credit Union Cherry Blossom 5K will be held on April 11, 2026, but the usual route has been changed to accommodate the ongoing Tidal Basin Seawall reconstruction project. The new route, unveiled earlier this week, will now begin on Army-Navy Dr. in Arlington, Virginia.

The route will loop around the Pentagon, ending near the starting line.
