The Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run is an annual 10-mile (16 km) road race in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1973 originally as a precursor training run for elite runners planning to compete in the Boston Marathon, the race has evolved over the years into a local race for runners of all abilities. Nevertheless, it still attracts international running stars such as Catherine Ndereba, Bill Rodgers, John Korir, and Olga Romanova.

The race is scheduled for the first Sunday of each April, meant to coincide with the bloom of the cherry blossoms given as a gift in 1912 from the mayor of Tokyo. The race is part of the National Cherry Blossom Festival of late March and early April in the city.

The race course covers many historic and memorable sights in Washington, D.C. Among the landmarks along the route are the Jefferson Memorial, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, the Washington Monument, Arlington National Cemetery, the Lincoln Memorial, the Watergate complex, Rock Creek Park, and the Tidal Basin.

The 2020 in-person edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of obtaining a guaranteed non-complimentary entry for 2021 or a full refund.{{Cite press release |title=2020 Credit Union Cherry Blossom Events Cancelled; Free Virtual Race Planned |date=March 18, 2020 |url=https://www.cherryblossom.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/18March2020.pdf |access-date=16 January 2025}} A virtual race was also organized, free and open to all registrants of the cancelled race.{{cite web |url=http://www.cherryblossom.org/theraces/virtualrun2020_info.php |title=Credit Union Cherry Blossom Virtual Run 2020 |website=www.cherryblossom.org |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200402100012/http://www.cherryblossom.org/theraces/virtualrun2020_info.php |archive-date=2 April 2020 |url-status=dead}}
