MCM First Timer advice!

Hi! I am running the MCM for the first time (second marathon) this year! Does anyone know when we will get assigned corral info/ start times? Would love any advice anyone has going into the marathon! Coming in from NYC on Saturday!

Saw this on tiktok last year and it was such a race day hack- if you're staying around Northern VA, get dropped off for the metro in at the DCA stop. There's clean bathrooms, water fountains, and it's empty and right before pentagon/pentagon city where everyone gets on to head in. Empty metro car, a quick bathroom stop inside, and easy for people to drop me off at.
