Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, June 15th we will be running a new route (and you're gonna love it), the Long Bridge Park/ Crystal City loop, clocking in at 15 miles. Check the cue sheet and map ahead of time - I will also be giving an overview of everything Saturday morning.
Please thank Franco Ordonez for our post-run drinks! Joe Emerson will also be out there supporting mid-run drinks to keep us cool. As always we seek drink volunteers for the coming months - August and September are wide open. Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.
The route is 15 miles as-is. If you wish to add on a few, you can continue on the Mt. Vernon trail north and make a loop around Roosevelt Island for about a 17.5 mile total run.
To shorten the route to a 12.5 mile run: after you run through Crystal City and as you are heading south on S. Potomac Ave, take a right on South Glebe Road. Carefully cross Rt. 1, and take a left to continue south on Rt. 1. Very soon you will see the entrance ramp to the 4 Mile Run trail on your right. Take this down to loop under Rt. 1 and you will hit the Mt. Vernon Trail shortly. Take a left on Mt. Vernon trail to head north back to Iwo Jima.
Have a great run!
