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.

July 18 SLR
Hello all!
It looks like it will be a hot one on Saturday, so you may as well start hydrating now. We will have a midpoint water stop this week in Battery Kemble Park, as Renee Dunnington has generously volunteered to give up running Chain Bridge hill in order to provide us with one!! Please thank her for that. And Jason Penticoff has us covered for the post run beverages, so give him a hearty "thank you" as well.
The route this week is Loops of Battery Kemble, which is one of my personal favorites for many reasons, not the least of which is the lovely repeating hill. Another good thing about it is that it's very easy to tack on or chop off a few miles. Take a look at the cue sheet and make your plans accordingly, and I'll see you on Saturday!

Hello SLR Runners!
Tomorrow's route is the Piney Branch Route. Chris Miller will be bringing the beverages to the midpoint, and Jim Cardosi's got us at the end, so be sure to thank them!
We still need a midpoint volunteer next weekend-- the route is Battery Kemble loops and that is a very easy place to set up, so please let me know if you can help.
There are a couple of other events of ineterest in the next week or so-- there is a Happy Hour at Sette Bello at 7PM July 16, and for MTP participants we have a seminar on July 19. See details on the appropriate pages, and have a great run tomorrow!
