Hello Saturday Runners!
If you're running the Rock n Roll DC Marathon it's now only one week until race day, so our scheduled run is on the shorter side at 10 miles, but with some hills in the first half to keep things fresh. The route will be 10 miles on Chain Bridge Loop (downloads: cue sheet and GPS), but if you'd like to extend it to either 12 or 14 miles, this is easy to do by following instead variation that's mapped as Marymount Chain Bridge (downloads: cue sheet and GPS).
Thank you Christine and Paul Westcott for providing our post-run drinks over the past month!! I now have an updated SLR schedule for the spring posted, and we are in dire need of post-run beverage volunteers for next week and beyond, so please get in touch with me right away if you can help. The weekly schedule of volunteers, routes, and distances is always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to book your slot. For more info on how volunteering works, please first see the SLR FAQ, and after that send me an email if you'd like any additional details.
Last call plug this week for the annual Club Banquet and Membership Meeting coming up on Sunday March 4, at Maggiano's in Friendship Heights! After cocktails and dinner, the event will feature presentation of our annual awards, a state of the club update, and a keynote address from local world-class ultra-runner Michael Wardian on his experience running 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days. The banquet is one of our signature events for the year, and is also a great way to spend some relaxed time off the roads with your running friends and their families! Please register in advance using the link above if you plan to attend.
Happy running,
Mike
