Hello Saturday Runners!
The planned route for this Saturday, February 28th, was Glover Archbold Pandas for 13.5 miles, but once again a route change is in order since the Glover-Archbold trail is likely to be snowy and icy with the weather we've gotten over the last week. Because we ran Custis last week, this week I will suggest out & back on the Capital Crescent Trail. I'm not 100% sure the trail will be clear, but reports from earlier this winter indicate that it was getting plowed relatively promptly in January by both NPS and Montgomery County. For a reference point, the water fountain just before the Delacarlia Tunnel is 5 miles out, and at mile marker 6.5 on the trail. As always, please use caution around ice that may be remaining, and only run if conditions are such that you feel comfortable.
Thank you Christine Westcott for covering post-run drinks this weekend and during the month of February! We need a beverage volunteer for two weeks starting next week, March 7th and 14th, so please volunteer if you plan to be at SLR for those two Saturdays. Visit the SLR page any time to see current needs, and email if you can help. This is an easy way to support your fellow runners, and the club will reimburse all expenses.
The DCRRC annual banquet will be on Sunday March 15th, 6:00 pm at Maggiano's Little Italy in Friendship Heights - spend some non-running time with your SLR friends! The event will include a family-style dinner, club annual awards, board elections, and a keynote speaker from Back On My Feet. More information and registration is available here.
Happy running!
Mike
