Hello Saturday Runners!
The route for Saturday August 1 will be out and back on the Rock Creek Park trail (additional map here). The planned distance is 16 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 of your desired distance. To get 16 miles, the turnaround point is near the intersection of Broad Branch Rd and Beach Dr. Turn around earlier at the Zoo for 10 miles, or stay on Beach Dr for 20+ miles. I will be out of town this weekend, but Andrew Simpson will start the run for you on Saturday morning.
Thanks this week go to Angela Katson for post-run beverages, and to Paul Westcott for mid-run drinks - you'll find Paul set up at Pierce Mill. We will be in need of both mid-run and post-run drinks within the next few weeks, so please take a look at up to date needs posted on the SLR page and let me know what fits your schedule. 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. If you enjoy the beverages provided for our runs, then do your part and volunteer!
Happy running!
Mike
