Hello Saturday Runners!
Happy 4th of July! This week's holiday route will be out and back on the Rock Creek Park trail (additional map here). The planned distance is 14 miles, but you can easily run as short or as long as you'd like on this route by simply turning around whenever you get to half the distance you'd like. To get 14 miles, the turnaround point is near Pierce Mill. Turn around earlier at the Zoo for 10 miles, or stay on Beach Dr for 20+ miles.
Thank you Garett Rose for providing post-run beverages this week! We do not currently have a mid-run beverage volunteer for this weekend, so if nobody steps up before Saturday, we'll have to rely on water fountains that are on or near the trail, at the Lincoln Memorial, National Zoo, and Pierce Mill. We also do not have a mid-run volunteer for next week, July 11, so let me know if you can cover either this week or next week. There are plenty of other volunteer opportunities this summer for both mid-run and post-run drinks, with up to date needs posted on the SLR page. Please email me any dates you can cover mid-run drinks, or at least 2 consecutive weeks (preferably 4 weeks) for post-run drinks - the club will reimburse all expenses.
Happy running!
Mike
