This Sat, Nov 2nd, we will be running the RFK Loop route, listed at 12.5 miles. Check the cue sheet for clarification. I won't be there but will have a sub starting things off. Great job to everyone who ran in Marine Corps Marathon last Sunday! The season isn't over yet, as we still have club members running New York City, Philly, Richmond, and JFK (among other races).
We need post-run drink volunteers, simple as that. We are currently set to be drinkless this Saturday unless someone steps up. We are all extremely grateful to our regular volunteers and are now asking anyone who runs with the club and hasn't volunteered before (or in ages) to pay their dues and help out. Please remember the club is member supported. It really isn't a lot of work and you can still run with the group that day. Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.
A word of advice on the route: rather than running around the road portion behind RFK (next to fast moving cars), you should be able to run directly behind the stadium. If you want a little less miles just turn around early - turning around in Lincoln Park (before you have reached RFK) will get you about a 9.5 Mile Run.
If you need more miles you can connect with the Mt. Vernon trail north and loop around Roosevelt Island, then come back through Rosslyn. This would add about 2 miles. Each loops is 1.25 miles so you can do more loops as desired.
Hope everyone had a good Halloween!
