It took a good 10 to 15 minutes to just get out of the Metro building. Got on that train and when I got off at the Pentagon stop, there were literally thousands of people trying to exit the metro platform using two sets of escalator stairs that were turned off. Had to wait for the next train which showed up 15 minutes later. It showed up at 6:15, and it was packed door to door, front to back. Stood on the platform and waited for the train that was supposed to be there at 6:00 AM. Took the Metro from Rosslyn to the Pentagon as suggested. I started out from my hotel (Le Meridien) about 3/4 mile away, at 5:30 AM for a 7:55 AM start. This race had/has enormous potential to be a top 10 race in the country, but until the event organizers fix the arrival and start line issues, I don't recommend this marathon to anyone.
