This Sat, Oct 27th we will be running the Piney Branch route, listed at 13 miles. I will not be there but Brian will be getting things started.
Good luck to everyone running Marine Corps Marathon Sunday!! Something tells me we won't be seeing you at the SLR. If you aren't running Sunday and would like to help out there are multiple needs. DCRRC could use volunteers at the race tent we will be sharing with Hope For Warriors, email Katie if you are interested. Also, DCRRC is hosting a waterstop at 14th street SW between C and D streets (mile 20). Come on out at 9:00 AM to watch the race and support the runners-including numerous club members. There is no need to RSVP-just bring yourself and friends are welcome.
Please thank Christine Westcott for our post-run drinks! She has done a great job all month. We currently don't have anyone on deck for November (starting next week) and seek volunteers. Its not a lot of work and DCRRC reimburses your expenses. Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.
Although plenty of club members are doing Marine Corps there are also quite a few folks who still have their fall Marathons coming up; Philly is 3 weeks out and Richmond is in 2 weeks. If you need longer than 13 miles, I am advising runners to continue on the C&O canal towpath after passing by Georgetown for an out and back, then eventually taking the Key Bridge back to our meeting spot.
- to add 4.5 miles (17.5 miles total) run out to Fletchers Boathouse and back (water/facilities here)
- to add 5.5 miles (18.5 miles total) run past Fletchers to where the Capital Crescent trail passes overhead and come back
- or pick your own distance as needed
Happy Running and Racing this weekend!
