Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, November the 12th, we will be running the Out and Back on C&O towpath route. The listed Mileage is 10 miles, but its easy to do more or less as needed. Please thank Marla Regan for post-run beverages. We still need volunteers to do drinks for December (and beyond) so please consider helping out.
Directions: From Iwo Jima, go through Rosslyn, cross key Bridge and a sharp right after the bridge down to river side of C&O Canal. Turn right (go under Key Bridge) and run for miles! The Towpath mile markers are roughly the distance from Iwo Jima (e.g., run to marker 5 and back for 10 miles total) See the route cue sheet for full details and maps!
There are bathrooms at Fletcher's Boathouse at Mile Marker 3. Unfortunetely, water fountains are probably turned off by now.
In SLR news, I am taking over as the new SLR leader for DC Road Runners. Kristin did a great job and left some big shoes to fill! I'm glad to take on the responsibility and look forward to running with everyone. I will be coordinating with DCRR and the spring training programs to work out distances and routes for winter (to be posted soon).
Good luck to those of us running Richmond Marathon this weekend!
See you tomorrow morning - Weather is supposed to be clear and cool with temps around 40, so should be a great run!
