Yellow Line trains operate regular Saturday schedule between Huntington and Mt. Vernon Sq only

Green Line trains will operate every 16 minutes.
Orange, Silver and Blue line trains will operate every 26 minutes.

5AM Opening Sunday for Marine Corps Marathon

Metrorail will open two hours early, at 5 a.m., on Sunday, October 25, for customers traveling to the Marine Corps Marathon. The closest Metro stop to the start of the race is Pentagon on the Blue and Yellow lines. Riders may want to consider using Pentagon City as an alternate station due to potential crowding at Pentagon.”
