The Association of the U.S. Army is a sponsor of the annual event, which will be Oct. 8, the Sunday before the opening of AUSA’s Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, D.C.

Priority registration is available for U.S. service members who use a “.mil” email address and to nonmilitary runners who have finished seven or more Army Ten-Miler races.
