SLR January 16 - Battery Kemble Loops

Hello Saturday Runners!

Our route this Saturday, January 16, will be Battery Kemble Loops (additional map here) for just under 16 miles. If you run out & back to the base of the park at the intersection of MacArthur Blvd and Chain Bridge Rd without doing any loops, this will be about 14 miles. For a run that's shorter still, you can turn around at any point on the route and retrace your steps back to the start. Additional mileage would be convenient to add on either the Capital Crescent or C&O Towpath trails. This route has some steep hills in the actual park loop, with a downhill section on the return leg of the Captial Crescent Trail. The JFK 20K and MLK 5K this weekend have been moved from Saturday to Sunday, so if you're planning to run SLR in addition, be sure to make it a short and easy run on Saturday!

Reistration is now open for the RRCA Club Challenge Ten Miler on February 28, where we compete as a club against other local running clubs. Entry is free to club members - during registratoin, please choose DCRRC as your affiliation, and "Club" not "Elite". We will also be providing bus transportation to and from the race, similar to what we did in 2014 if you were there, and pick-ups in Courthouse and Dupont. See the DCRR homepage for registration and bus sign-up links.

Thank you Kyle Edgerton for post-run beverages! We will need more volunteers starting in mid-February, so please let me know when you're available to help. 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 can 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
