1. 10K Training Program – First Call!

2. Al Lewis Kensington 10 Miler This Saturday

1. 2006 10K TRAINING PROGRAM COMING

Once again, the DC Road Runners Club is partnering with the Arlington YMCA for a 10K training program.

The program will begin Saturday, February 18th. It will last twelve weeks, with the goal race being the Arlington YMCA
Mother’s Day 10K, a race which DCRRC co-sponsors with the YMCA. (Program participants may choose to run
other 10Ks, of course, but the program fee includes a free entry in the Mother’s Day 10K on Sunday, May 14, 2006.)

The cost for the 10K Training Program is $40 for DCRRC members (non-members pay $52, as their fee includes a
DCRRC membership). Runners will meet at the Arlington YMCA on Saturday, February 18th at 8 a.m. for
orientation.

Groups will be formed based on runners’ experience, abilities and goals. All levels of ability can be accommodated. Participants should come to the first meeting prepared to go for a short run. Runners will have access to the locker room facilities each week, including showers, towels and sauna. Bagels and Gatorade will be provided each week, as well as high quality coaching advice.

For more information, please contact Kristin at 10Ktraining@dcroadrunners.org. Go to www.dcroadrunners.org, Programs, 10K Training Program.

WE NEED A FEW MORE COACHES! Will you be a coach, assistant or substitute? We need you! Please contact Kristin at 10Ktraining@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out. It’s a short-term commitment and a good way to get involved with your club!
