This Sat, May 25th we will be running the National Capital 12 miler route. Check the cue sheet for clarification. We will still be starting at 8:00am since the weather is a bit cooler than normal - predicted low 50s Saturday Morning - then rolling back to a 7:00am start time once it warms up starting June 1st.
Please thank Rick DeSaussure for our post-run drinks the month of May. As always we seek drink volunteers for the coming months. Its not a lot of work and DCRRC reimburses your expenses. Post-run and mid-run beverage needs for summer have been posted so please check and see where you can help out. If you can't do a whole month of post-run beverages consider teaming up with a fellow SLR runner to get the month covered. Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out with any beverage needs.
Mileage Options:
8: To cut it down to an 8ish mile run, come back via Memorial Bridge after we make our way back to the Lincoln Memorial
12: Run route as written
14: Before crossing the 14th street bridge, make a loop around the Tidal Basin (14 miles). Add on even more distance by taking Mt. Vernon trail south toward DCA for a brief out-and-back, then coming back as described in the directions.
Water fountains/bathrooms under the Lincoln Memorial, in the little house east of the Wasington Monument, and under the Jefferson Memorial if you need it!
Enjoy this classic tour of Washington DC landmarks!
