Hello Saturday Runners!
The route for our on on August 15 will be Southeast DC (additional map here) for 13.5 miles. For a longer run of about 16.5 miles, you can stay on the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail until Benning Rd, cross the river here, and take Benning Rd to Maryland Ave back to the Capitol. On the other hand, if you'd like a shorter run of about 10.5 miles along our planned route, you can bring a few dollars or a SmarTrip card and take the Metro on your way back from Smithsonian to Rosslyn. I hope everyone enjoyed the nice cool running weather we had this morning, and hopefully we'll get a little bit more of it tomorrow too!
Thank you Franco Ordonez for bringing post-run beverages this week, and be sure to also thank Kenny Ames when you see him at our mid-run pit-stop. We can always use more volunteers, so take a look at our 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 - all beverage expenses will be reimbursed by the club. Without your volunteer support, we wouldn't have the mid-run and post-run drinks that keep you going every week, so please help!
Happy running!
Mike
