Hello Saturday Runners!
Due to the coming snowstorm, SLR will be cancelled on January 23! There is a Blizzard Watch in effect for Saturday, with 18-24 inches of snow expected, so enjoy the day off, stay warm, and be safe! If you'd like to sneak in a long run before the snow, Rich Mendelowitz will be leading an early morning run on Friday, January 22, meeting at the Arlington Planetarium parking lot (1426 N. Quincy St., Arlington, VA 22207), near Washington & Lee High School. To accommodate work schedules they will be leaving promptly at 5:15 am, and the route will be a counter-clockwise approximation of the Arlington Triangle (additional map here) SLR route for about 16 miles.
Registration 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 registration, please choose DCRRC as your affiliation, and the "Club" not "Elite" division. We will also be providing bus transportation to and from the race, similar to what we did in 2014 if you were there, with 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
