Welcome! This is the home of the world-famous (well, maybe locally well-known) SLR.
Every Saturday, we meet 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. We run rain or shine. Following our runs a large group usually brunches at Whitlow's on Wilson.
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, June 5, start time will be 7:00am every Saturday until Fall. We also need mid-point beverage volunteers along the routes listed below. Thank you for helping your group!

Hello Saturday runners!
As noted in last week's email, and recently updated on the summer schedule, we will be running Battery Kemble Loops tomorrow. The suggested distance is 16 miles, but there are a myriad of ways to extend or cut this one to size.
Next week we will run 18 miles of a route modified from Streets of MCM.
For those starting at the regular 7am start time, Lynn Addington will be in Battery Kemble Park with our midroute beverages, so please thank her and thank Chris Miller for bringing the post run beverages.
Also, Steve Easley will be leading a group of early starters at 6am.
Finally, a note to Marathon Training Program participants-- you may still sign up for Sunday evening's seminar on the training website: mtp.dcroadrunners.org.
See you all tomorrow!

Hello Saturday Runners!
This week's route is Cathedral Clintons!
Kyle White will be going out early for those who wish to start at 6am. For those of you starting at 7, I'll have cue sheets and Vania will be at our midway refreshment stop. Please thank her as well as Chris Miller, who's been taking care of us post-run for August.
There may be a large rally on the Mall next weekend which has a potential to seriously disrupt our ability to enjoy and benefit from our planned route. To deal with this, we will be SWAPPING THE NEXT TWO WEEKS' ROUTES. That is, we'll run Battery Kemble next weekend, August 28, and then do Streets of MCM (modified for mileage) on September 4. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Enjoy your run and see you tomorrow!!

Hello Saturday Runners!
This week's route is the Arlington Triangle route. Please thank Carl Ford for leading in my absence, and thank Ted Dowd for bringing the midpoint beverages-- again! And Chris Miller for the post-run beverages.
We have some openings for beverage volunteers coming up and could really use your help. Please see if there are open slots on our Saturday schedule that work with your Saturday schedule and send me an email with the days/weeks/months you can help out! Have a great run, everyone!
Kristin
