SAVE THE DATE for next year - Sunday, May 17, 2026!

The National Capital Bank (NCB) Capitol Hill Classic has been a Capitol Hill tradition for over four decades. Sponsored by the National Capital Bank and organized by a team of dedicated volunteers, the Classic consists of a 10K, 3K, and kids Fun Run. Proceeds from the race support the Capitol Hill Cluster School, a DC Public School. Over 4,400 people registered for the 2025 Classic. Thank you, runners!

The Classic and the Capitol Hill Cluster School

The funds raised through the NCB Capitol Hill Classic go toward the Capitol Hill Cluster School, a DC Public School, and help bridge the gap between the DC Public Schools budget and the money needed to fund field trips, buy art supplies, support classroom projects, provide professional development for our teachers, and fund the gardens and teachers’ requests.

The Capitol Hill Cluster School is a unique DC public school on three campuses—Peabody Primary School, Watkins Elementary School, and Stuart-Hobson Middle School.
