As Mayor of the District of Columbia, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all of therunners, supporters, and volunteers who have joined us in Washington, D.C. to participate in the2011 SunTrust National Marathon, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield National Half Marathon,and United Way National Team Relay.

The course will not only feature the monuments, museums, and institutes of higher learning thatwe are famous for, but also the neighborhoods and diversity that make this city so unique. Spe-cial thanks are due to the Greater Washington Sports Alliance for giving our beloved communitya front row seat to this event. For those of you traveling to the District of Columbia for this raceweekend, I hope that you will take the time to discover all that makes our city a great place tolive, work, and visit by exploring our vibrant neighborhoods.

On behalf of the residents of the District of Columbia, you have my best wishes for asuccessful event.

Vincent C. Gray

Mayor, District of Columbia

2011 SunTrust National Marathon Race Participants and Volunteers:

SunTrust is proud to be the title sponsor of this solid event. In our three years as titlesponsor, the SunTrust National Marathon has grown into one of the premier sportingevents in Washington, D.C. Without question, it is the commitment of all our supportersthat have enabled the race to ascend to such heights. We continue to be impressed withthe dedication and passion of all race participants and we greatly appreciate the mannerin which the D.C. community has embraced this event. Without the determination anddevotion of runners, spectators, and volunteers alike, the SunTrust National Marathonwould not be such a successful event each year.

At SunTrust, we know something about commitment too, and the passion it takes to

reach your goals. We believe people need more than a range of products to makethe financial decisions that shape their lives and livelihoods. They need someone whounderstands them, supports them, and actively helps them achieve their goals. We aredevoted to understanding and fulfilling the needs of our clients and our community.That is our solid promise to you.

The SunTrust National Marathon is made possible only by thousands of hours of hardwork by the Greater Washington Sports Alliance, District of Columbia officials, SunTrustteammates, and hundreds of volunteers throughout the region. It is this collaborationthat makes the event a reality. Congratulations to all those who helped produce thisyears SunTrust National Marathon and the runners who have trained so hard to conquerthis years course. Best wishes to all of you for a safe and solid race!
