SLR April 22 - Marymount Chain Bridge

Hello Saturday Runners!

This week's route on April 22nd will be the ever-popular Marymount Chain Bridge loop (additional map here) for 14 miles, with easy modifications possible to make it either 12 or 10 miles if you'd like. For 12 miles, run the route as written, but return directly over the Key Bridge rather than going down to Memorial Bridge. For 10 miles, in addition to returning over the Key Bridge, continue straight on Military Road to Old Glebe Rd, rather than turning left into Zachary Taylor Park.

Thank you Kyle Edgerton for post-run drinks! We will need more volunteers starting next week. Without volunteers to fill the schedule (which is currently empty), we will not have drinks provided at SLR! The schedule of routes and distances is now posted to take us up to the beginning of the next Marathon Training Program cycle, when it begins ramping up in June for MCM. As another reminder, starting in June we'll be looking for volunteers to cover mid-run drinks as well as post-run drinks, to help get us through the hot summer months.

Volunteer needs along with the weekly route & distance schedule are always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. Post-run volunteers are typically scheduled for at least 2 consecutive weeks to cut down on handoffs of the bins, while mid-run drinks can be booked on a week by week basis. SLR drinks are entirely volunteer supported, so if you regularly enjoy this perk, do your part to keep it going! Volunteering is easy, doesn't take a lot of time, and all restocking expenses will be reimbursed by the club.

On Saturday April 29th, lululemon is sending their #morethanmiles Test Truck to hang out in the community and would love to see people from this "DC Road Runners" they've been hearing so much about! Starting at 9:30 am near the SLR start/finish area, we invite you all to come hang out and have some good breakfast food and check out what More than Miles has to offer. The truck is equipped with a treadmill and music for a unique running experience. If you'll be there to run SLR starting at 8:00 am, you can hang out when you get back, or just come have breakfast and catch up with lots of fun DC Road Runners and celebrate that spring is here! Click here to see what this is all about!

Happy running!
