SLR June 11 - GWK Shady

Hello Saturday Runners!

On Saturday, June 11, our long run route will be GWK Shady (additional map here) for 10.5 miles. There are lots of trails on this route, to help keep you shaded on what looks to be a warm day tomorrow. On the Wesley Heights trail (connecting G-A and B-K trails), which we don't take very often on SLR, remember to follow the yellow blazes to stay on course. For more mileage you can do a second loop of the Glover-Archbold / Wesley Heights / Battery-Kemble trails, which would bring total distance up to about 17.5 miles. For a shorter add-on, or go any other distance less than 10.5 miles, I would suggest out & back mileage on the C&O Towpath.

I'm going to be out of town this week, but Dan Lesmez will be starting off the run for me tomorrow morning.

Thank you to Paul & Christine Westcott for post-run drinks, and to Jenn Barton for mid-run drinks! We are still in need of mid-run drink volunteers, to help with your hydration in the warmer weather. Since all of our SLR beverages are volunteer-based, mid-run drinks won't continue until we get volunteers - so let me know when you can help! A full route schedule from now until the Marine Corps Marathon is now posted on the website, so there are plenty of slots to fill.

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
