Welcome! This is the home of the world-famous (well, maybe locally well-known) SLR.
Our start time is at 8:00 AM for the rest of the year. 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 Runners!
This week I'll be on vacation, so Rick DeSaussure will be leading you on the DC Sightseer route. Please thank him for taking over, and please thank Colleen Marzec for providing the post-run beverages and taking care of the recycling.
Have a great run, and I'll see you next week!

Hello everyone!
Because many of us are tapering or recovering, this week's route, by request, is the 12-mile RFK route. It's basically an out-and back with a loop around RFK stadium, so if you're not in for 12, just turn around early and pretend you ran really really fast.
In related news, it's time to relieve Eleanor Evans, who has provided our post-run beverages for many a week. If you can take over for her for the month of November (or even just take the bins this week, and bring 'em back with some gatorade next week), please let me know. If there is any other week you can help, especially in the upcoming months of November and December, we need you-- please send me an email!
Also, the route schedule will be by request whenever possible, so if there's something you'd rather be running, just say the word. Similarly, if you want to have a pace group to run with, I am taking volunteers to lead them. Let me know how you'd like to help!
Thanks for making SLR run smoothly, and I'll see you Saturday!
