Welcome! This is the home of the world-famous (well, maybe locally well-known) SLR.
Every Saturday, our runs begin at the parking lot at the USMC War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial) in Rosslyn. At least one porta-john is available year-round, and the water fountain is usually on during the summer months. Following our runs a large group usually head over to Whitlow's on Wilson for an (optional) brunch.
All are welcome! If you don't want to run the same distance or course as the main group, you can go for half the distance you want to run and re-trace your steps back to Iwo Jima.
We always seek volunteers to lead pace groups or bring post-run beverages. In the summer, we also need volunteers to bring mid-point beverages (because baby, it's hot outside). You just buy the water/Gatorade, then staff the water stop for that week. The club will reimburse your water and Gatorade expenses. To help with beverages or as a pace leader, please send an email to Kristin.
For more, see the Frequently Asked Questions or ask Kristin, slr@dcroadrunners.org.
Starting Saturday, October 24, start time will change to 8:00am every Saturday until the summer start time resumes in June.

This week's route is Ross Drive. Please thank Jim Cardosi for providing our March beverages, even though he's racing on March 20!
By the way, if you can bring the refreshments on the 20th (or for April), please let me know.
See you tomorrow!

Finally!! Word on the trail is that the Arlington Triangle Route is now clear. While there is another bout of weather in the forecast, all indications are that any snow accumulation will be negligable.
So, we're back to our list of routes! Also, we're back to almost March... with no beverage volunteer for March. If you'd like to step up and lend us a hand, please let me know.
See you all Saturday!

Hello everyone!
It's still dicey out there, but you traiditionalists will be happy-- we're going to gather back at Iwo Jima at 8am tomorrow! (May as well, as almost a dozen people were there last week anyway!)
Thanks to everyone who sent me a field report. I can't cover much ground by myself, so I really appreciate all the help. It sounds like there are some uncleared spots on the sidewalks still, but they are ultimately passable. There is a great likelihood of melting/refreezing, so in addition to all of the regular running hazards we all must look out for as responsible individuals, be forewarned of extra ice in spots. Neighborhood parking may still be difficult as well, but there has been some melting so it's a bit better than it has been, and there are those few coveted spots right by the memorial.
Unfortunately, but probably not unexpectedly, we're going to put off the scheduled sequence of runs for a while. This week we'll revise a Christmas Tree run. The trails just aren't ready for the likes of us yet, from the sounds of things.

I'm very much looking forward to seeing the group tomorrow!
