Hello Saturday Runners!
Our route on Saturday, August 20, will be Long Bridge Park (additional map here) for 15 miles. To shorten the run to roughly 10 miles, you can cut across from Crystal Drive just before 18th St. to the Mt. Vernon Trail at National Airport. If you'd rather add distance, you can return all the way up the Mt. Vernon Trail to Rosslyn for an extra mile, or add laps of Roosevelt Island on the way for even more miles. This week's mid-run beverage station will be between miles 7 and 8, on Slater's Lane (probably on runner's left near Buzz Bakery).
Thank you Jonny Pellish for post-run drinks, and Matthew & Emily Chesnes for mid-run drinks! We have one more volunteer slot opening before MCM to cover mid-run drinks on September 3, so please let me know if you can help on that day. Up-to-date future volunteer needs and a route schedule are always posted on our web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. Our drink stations are entirely volunteer staffed, so if you're an SLR regular, do your part to help support them!
Happy running!
Mike
