Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, May 7, we'll be doing something a little bit different, but I think it should be a fun route from our archives that we haven't run recently! The Vienna Metro (additional map here) route is 13.5 miles one way point-to-point, with a ride on the Metro's orange line to return back to our meeting point. Be sure to carry your SmarTrip card, loaded with at least $3.60 for the 22 minute ride from Vienna to Rosslyn! For a shorter run, you can make it just under 11 miles by continuing straight on Gallows Rd to the Dunn Loring Metro station. Alternately, if you'd rather not ride the Metro, or would like to run any other distance (longer or shorter), you can turn around at any point on the Custis or W&OD trails to make this a typical out & back route.
Thank you Rochelle Basil for post-run beverages over the last few weeks! We're going to need more post-run volunteers starting in late May, as well as mid-run volunteers starting in June, so please start thinking ahead and let me know how you'll be able to help. Up-to-date future volunteer needs and a route schedule are always posted on our web page, and you can email me to schedule your slot. For mid-run beverages, any week you're able to volunteer is appreciated, but for post-run beverages it's best if you can cover two (or more!) consecutive weeks at a time, to cut down on hand-offs of the bins. If you enjoy or benefit from the entirely volunteer-supported beverages at our runs, please do your part - it's easy, and you'll be reimbursed for all expenses.
Happy running!
Mike
