2012 Kelley Cares 5K

Kelley-Cares-LogoDC Road Runners is proud to partner with the Kelley Cares Foundation to present the 5th Annual Kelley Cares 5K Run/Walk on Saturday, May 19. The race benefits the Therapeutic Recreation Program of Alexandria. For more information and to register, visit kelleycares.org.


 

Temporary SLR Location Change

Due to concerns raised by the National Park Service, SLR will temporarily start and finish at a slightly different location. We will gather at the small park just northwest of the Iwo Jima Memorial. The closest address for mapping purposes is 1300 Arlington Blvd. Street parking is still available in the neighborhoods adjacent to N. Meade Street.  Be mindful of parking signs, since Arlington County enforces them enthusiastically, and please do not park on Marine Memorial Circle (inside Iwo Jima), since parking there is one of the Park Service's issues.

 

Congratulations to Our Boston Marathon Teams!

Congratulations to all DC Road Runners who endured the record-setting 87F heat from Hopkinton to downtown Boston on April 16th.  We entered 26 runners in official team competition, and had many others in the field as well.  Here's how our teams fared, including the top performers in each category.  (Click here for complete team results.)

  • Men’s open, 23th of 59 teams; Edi Turco, Ben Mitchell, Brian Danza, Nicholas Geboy, Chris Britz
  • Women’s open, 25th of 50 teams; Jessica Schwartz, Kristen Keller, Ariel Hayes, Kate Malone
  • Men’s masters, 31st of 68 teams; Matt Anderson, Kevin D’Amanda, Tim Byram, Jim Noone, Jamie Engle
  • Women’s masters, 30th of 37 teams; Rosy Spraker, Gillian Rowan, Ellie Evans,
Special congratulations are in order for Edi Turco, who took first place among Italian citizens with a time of 2:46:35!
 

Congratulations to Cherry Blossom Participants!

Congratulations to all DC Road Runners who participated in the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler on April 1st. There were a plethora of faces spotted who weren't involved in our 45 person race effort, which means we had an enormous showing out there. Results are online, but team results will likely take a few weeks to be compiled. If you were a part of the race teams, Mike will be in touch regarding earned incentives and team awards.
