If you register, do not have a Military ID or CAC card, and need a visitor’s pass, you may go to Lieber gate a few days before the Breast Cancer Awareness 5K. This will allow for faster entrance on the day of the event and prevent gate access from backing up. For more information, you may call the Visitor Center at +1 (703)806-4892 or visit the Access Control page.
