Runners are invited to capture the marathon-eve energy at this special evening including an elegant pasta dinner buffet, lively entertainment, engaging guest speakers and coveted prizes. Tickets are $26 per person. Seatings will be held at 4:30 and 6:15 p.m. on Saturday, October 28 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.
