Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, Mar 29th the route is the Capital Crescent to Rock Creek BIG Loop. I know we just did this like a month ago, but its one of the best long run routes we have, and with Boston in 3 weeks (as well as a few other Spring marathons still coming up) plenty of folks will be needing a long run. Its a very big loop at over 22 miles. You can cut off some of the top by cutting through some Chevy Chase neighborhoods to get make it more like 20.5 miles (I can explain before SLR). Other than that you will just have to make it an out and back - if you turn around when you reach Bethesda this will give you a 16 mile run.
If you are running Boston this year, please email me to get on the DCRRC Boston Team and ensure you recieve social event updates.
Thank You to Paul & Christine Westcott for more fine post-run drink work! We do need drink volunteers soon! Its not a lot of work and the club reimburses your expenses - email SLR@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out!
Its important to stay hyrdrated on these longer runs, even in the cool weather, which may mean carrying it with you. Some of the water fountains are on all winter, and you can even buy a drink in Bethesda if you bring a few bucks with you. Fortunetely it is starting to warm up some out there! You'll pass a few water fountains and restrooms (ie Pierce Mill) coming back through Rock Creek park too.
Try to enjoy winter while it lasts - before you know it it will be 90 and humd out 
Happy Running!
