Iwo Jima Memorial

Welcome! This is the home of the world-famous (well, maybe locally well-known) SLR.

Our start time is at 7:00 AM for the remainder of the summer! Every Saturday we meet at North Meade Street Park, a small park northwest of the USMC War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial) in Rosslyn. The closest address for mapping purposes is 1300 Arlington Blvd, and street parking is available in the neighborhoods adjacent to N. Meade Street. Be mindful of parking signs, since Arlington County enforces them enthusiastically, and please do not park on Marine Memorial Circle (inside Iwo Jima), because this parking area is for memorial use only. At least one porta-john is available year-round near the Iwo Jima Memorial, and the memorial's water fountain is usually on during the summer.

We run rain or shine! In cases of extreme weather (snow, ice, thunderstorms, heat waves) we do occasionally either change our meeting time or cancel the run for safety, but the run will be held as planned unless otherwise posted via email/twitter/facebook and here on the SLR web page.

All are welcome! We're an informal group, and there are no requirements for speed, racing experience, or what distance means "long" for you, other than the suggested route that most of our group will be running each week. If you don't want to run the same distance or course as the main group, you can go out for half of your own target distance and re-trace your steps back to Iwo Jima. More specific route info and mileage options will be given in the email/post preceding each Saturday's run. SLR always features a run from our extensive Route Catalog, which gives us a wide range of options to keep things fresh for you each week. We have routes that are flat, hilly, looped, out & back, roads, sidewalks, trails, and more, reaching all around the local area of DC, VA, and MD!

For more details about Saturday Long Runs please read our Frequently Asked Questions to get a sense for what it's like to run with us, or send an email to Anna if you have any other questions that are not covered.

Hello Everyone,

It will most likely be a 10-13 mile run that passes by most of the festive trees in downtown DC. Stay tuned :)

Here is a list of the routes for the last weekend in December and the month of January:

Dec 30: Southest DC (13 miles):

SLR Updates

Hello everyone,

First, many thanks to our most recent post-beverage volunteers:
Alissa Cooper, Emily Leary, RB Brill, and Ben Richter.

We are in desperate need for a December post-run beverage volunteer!! It is a fairly simple job--
1) purchase gatorade, water, and cups
2) bring to Iwo Jima
3) save your receipts to submit for reimbursement from the DCRRC treasurer.

Please contact me if you are interested in volunteering for December (or January or February :))

Here is a list of routes for the next month:

11/25--Ben Richter will lead on the 10 mile Pinniped Route:

12/2--Marymount Chain Bridge (14 miles):

12/16-Panda Loop (13 miles):

12/23-Christmas Tree Run--route to be determined....basically, we will run to see all of the famous trees in downtown DC!

12/31-Southeast DC (13 miles):

Cheers,
Kerry.
