Hello Saturday Runners!
On Saturday, December 19, we will be doing our annual 10 mile Christmas Tree Run (map here), which goes past a number of spots in DC where you can see Christmas trees! To lengthen this route to about 13.5 mi, turn left at the Lincoln Memorial instead of crossing the bridge, and head down Ohio Dr. After one counter-clockwise loop of the Tidal Basin beginning and ending near the Jefferson Memorial, cross the 14th St. Bridge, and head back along the Mt. Vernon Trail.
The club is looking for your feedback, so if you haven't done so already, please take our membership survey! A link to the survey is also currently posted at the top of the club website's homepage. There are a few questions that specifically relate to SLR, so let us know what you'd like to see at our group run in the future. We're also currently looking for nominations (until January 5th) for the club's annual awards, which will be presented at the banquet in March.
Thanks this week go to Dan Lesmez for providing our post-run beverages over the last few weeks! Following next week, we will need volunteers for January and beyond, so please let me know when you can pitch in. Up-to-date future volunteer needs as well as a route schedule are always available on our web page, and you can email me to schedule your slot. Any time you volunteer for at least 2 consecutive weeks is helpful, and if you can do 4 weeks (or more!) that's ideal. Volunteering is easy, and all of your expenses for supplies will be reimbursed by the club.
Happy running!
Mike
