The vehicles in the convoy are staying in one lane and are spacing out while driving a bit below the speed limit, WTOP's Valerie Bonk reports.

A spokesperson tells WTOP that they plan to circle the Beltway on Sunday in protest of COVID-19 restrictions. Afterward, they're expected to head back to Hagerstown.

Lynne Kristensen, a spokesperson with the People's Convoy, told WTOP Saturday night that plans have not been finalized, but that the convoy did plan to drive around D.C. They didn't plan to enter D.C. proper.

"The People's Convoy plans to circle the Beltway [Sunday] and has been working with local and state law enforcement to find the best time to travel," Kristensen said in a message to WTOP.

WTOP's Valerie Bonk said every truck in the convoy had an American flag and dozens of people were lining Interstate-270 in Frederick. Horns were honking but traffic was moving.

The convoys plans

A Facebook page for the group told the group gathered at the speedway to meet up at 8 a.m. on Sunday at Mike Landis' drop deck trailer but the post didn't specify timing of a departure.

While vehicles began moving sometime around 9:30 a.m., the convoy took roughly two hours to crawl out of the speedway and onto the Beltway.

The convoy will keep up with the pattern of circling the convoy while increasing the number of loops every day this week until their demands are met, The Washington Post reports.
