SLR January 30 - ROUTE CHANGE: Capital Crescent Trail

Hello Saturday Runners!

With the remaining mess from #Snowzilla still covering Rock Creek Park Trail, this week's route will be changed to out and back on the Capital Crescent Trail (additional map here). The planned distance is 18 miles, but you can easily go as long or as short as you like by turning around whenever you like. Though the Capital Crescent Trail has been plowed and now has no snow cover, please still use caution in areas where melting snow could create ice, and on the roads where both runners and cars will all be navigating around huge piles of snow for a while still.

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
