SLR Aug 2 - Capital Crescent Trail

Hello Saturday Runners!

This Sat, August 2nd, we will be running an out and back on the Capital Crescent Trail.  I put down 18 miles for folks in marathon training, but you can choose your distance and turn around when you like.  For turn around options see below:

- 5 miles out: marker 6.5  (Water fountain here at Fletchers)
- 7 miles out: marker 4.5  (River Road)
- 8 miles out: mile marker 3.5.  This is at Barnes & Noble. Water fountain just beyond. Then go through Wisconsin Ave. tunnel, then trail becomes gravel.
- 9 miles out: marker 2.5
-10 miles out: marker 1.5

Thank you to Kevin Cunningham for covering post-run drinks! We current do not have mid-run drinks lined up!!  If you or someone you know would be willing to help us out, please email SLR@dcroadrunners.org - the club reimburses your expenses.  Drinks are looking good for most of summer, though there are still a few Saturday mid-run drink needs left.

Shouldn't be too hot or sunny out, but it will be humid so please take it easy and hit those water fountains when you can.

Wow! Its alrady August - hope you are enjoying the rather mild DC summer.  Have a great run!
