Presidents Race Gingerbread House at NIH

Gingerbread Presidents Race at NIHThe National Institutes of Health Clinical Center is holding its Seventh Annual Gingerbread House Contest in its Bethesda headquarters, and alert reader Cindy Smith Clinton shared this photo of one notable entry — a DC Mall scene featuring Teddy Roosevelt winning a presidents race on the National Mall.

The meticulously decorated gingerbread creation includes the Washington Monument and Capitol Building, with Teddy breaking the tape and 2012 champion George Washington lying in defeat.

Entries are on display in the atrium of the NIH Hatfield Building through the holidays. You can view all the entries, including a replica of Nationals Park, and vote for your favorite here through December 15.

Presidents Race Fan

I am a huge Washington Nationals fan (and partial season ticket holder) whose son fell in love with the Presidents Race from that first day in July, 2006 when big-headed Teddy first came up short. It's wonderful to think that such a fan-friendly tradition could become established in DC so quickly. Who says DC doesn't have great fans? I hope that our chants of "Let Teddy Win!" during the Presidents Race will continue to add fun and excitement to Nationals Park, and help turn more and more young people into Washington Nationals fans. I started letteddywin.com to have fun and help fuel the fan spirit around the presidents race.
