SLR July 5 - Battery Kemble

Happy Independence Day Runners!

This Sat, July 5th, we will be running the Battery Kemble route.  The full route is 16 miles, but its easily shortened to less (see below) if you are taking it easy or just ran the 4th of July DCRRC Race.

Drinks are looking good for summer, though there are still a few Saturday mid-run drink needs. Please check the SLR webpage for dates of need and email SLR@dcroadrunners.org to help out!

Double thank you to Joe Buccimo for supplying our post-run drinks as well as our mid-run drink stop!

Like I said, the full route (with 2 loops around Battery Kemble Park) is 16 miles but for less, you can cut off a loop of Battery Kemble - each loop is 1.25 miles.  For even less, do just 1 loop, then take a right onto the Capital Crescent trail upon exiting the wood to cut off about a mile - this gets your run down to about 13.5 miles.  

Looks like great summer running weather, clear, and with temps in the low 70s. Have a great run!
