Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, Feb 8th, we will be running the Long Bridge Park route, at just about 15 miles. We will be heading past the Pentagon, through Crystal City, and back up on the Mt. Vernon Trail - check the map if you need it.
Thank You to Mary Ellen for more fine post-run drink work! We don't have anyone lined up for February or March and we NEED drink volunteers. Its not a lot of work and the club reimburses your expenses. Please email SLR@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out!
The route is 15 miles as-is - for those of us in Marathon training who may need additional miles, see below:
- 17.5: For an extra 2.5 miles, continue North on Mt. Vernon Trail, run a loop around Roosevelt Island and come back through Rosslyn.
- 20: For an extra 5 miles, take the 14th street bridge into DC and cross the Tidal Basin (water/ heated bathrooms under the Jefferson Memorial). Run along the mall and behind the Capital, then back down the Mall to the Lincoln Memorial (more water here) and take Memorial Bridge back.
Looks like great winter running weather - the snow is supposed to hold off until after noon! Temps will be right around freezing so dress accordingly!
