Over 10,000 runners, walkers and adaptive wounded warrior athletes met in Washington, D.C. for the 2016 Navy-Air Force Half Marathon & Navy 5-miler, Sept. 18.

Racers braved a hot and humid course, but were treated to views of some of the nation's most coveted historical monuments.

Countless organizations were represented from wounded warriors, veterans and other charities either as individual runners or organized teams.

The Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling-sponsored race, which also honors the U.S. Air Force's birthday, is one of the most popular among the military services. To highlight that, Under Secretary of the Navy Dr. Janine Davidson, took part in the 5-mile portion of the race.

"I can't think of a better way to spend this beautiful morning than running the Navy 5-miler," she said. "The atmosphere was electric, with all participants encouraging each other and motivating everyone to finish strong. Also, having served in the Air Force and now serving in the Navy, today's race holds a special place in my heart, not just because of the run, but also the opportunity to speak to and meet so many of our service members, wounded warriors and their families."

Jim Davidson, the under secretary's brother and Navy veteran, joined her, but ran the half-marathon portion.
