1. SATURDAY LONG RUNS
The Club holds weekly runs
from Iwo Jima on Saturday mornings, beginning at 8
a.m. This week’s route is a surprise. Come out (after Boston) and run with us. (Tell us about Boston!) For those desiring a shorter run (perhaps
because you ran Boston a few days ago and you just
can’t stay away), there’s a shorter run option of 6-9 miles. For more information and to see Saturday Long
Run reports, go to http://www.dcroadrunners.org/longrun. Please send
questions concerning the Saturday Long Runs to David Kapson
at slrguy@dcroadrunners.org.
Please plan to join us at Whitlow’s on Wilson for breakfast after the run!

feel the burn--and have fun doing it--join us for our Wednesday night track
workouts, starting at 7:15 p.m.
Personal training advice is available from the USA Track &
Field-certified coach, as well as from the many other "regulars" who
have experienced the highs and lows of training, injuries, and competition. Novice runners are always given a workout

other committed runners dedicated to improving their level of performance.

Glebe, right on 15th Street for about 0.4 miles, to Stafford Street, turn right

effort.) Are you an Alexandria
resident living in the proximity of the Parkway? We need you!
Please contact Susan at president@dcroadrunners.org.
Club Attire Coordinator -
DCRRC is looking for someone to sell club merchandise. This involves maintaining a stock of the
club’s attire, coordinating shipping or delivery of attire to club members
interested in purchasing it. It also
involves accepting checks and sending them to the club treasurer. Ideally, the coordinator of the club’s attire
would also attend some DCRRC events to display clothing to club members, but
this is not required. Anyone interested
should email president@dcroadrunners.org.
SLR Beverage Managers – Our Saturday Morning Long Run
group is looking for people to be responsible for beverages for one month
terms. Particularly if you are an “SLR Regular”, please consider signing up for a month and giving a little
back to the group that gives you so much!
If you are willing to be a one-month beverage manager, please contact
David at SLRguy@dcroardunners.org. Thanks in advance for helping out.
Awards Chairman –
Pat Finn has dutifully held this position for a decade. He’s passing the baton. Are you interested? Please contact Susan at President@dcroadrunners.org
if you wish to keep our club supplied with awards for our events. Thank you.
