Hello Saturday Runners!
Happy Thanksgiving, and I hope you all had fun with your turkey trot races! To get out for some more mileage this weekend, we will be running the 11 mile Fort Scott Hill route (additional map here). This route is an out & back, so for a shorter distance you can turn around sooner, or for a longer run you can continue further down the Mt. Vernon Trail after running up and down the hill. The weather forecast is looking like we'll have a great fall morning in store, so I hope to see you there!
Don't forget that our Snowball Series of winter races (with free entry for club members!) will soon be getting underway. The first race of the series, the Gar Williams Half Marathon, is unfortunately already sold out, but there are plenty of other options between 8K and 20K over the next few months.
We now need a volunteer to start handling post-run drinks, to cover the gap over the next few weeks. With no volunteer, we will not have post-run drinks this week, and they will not resume until more volunteers start signing up. I've now posted a complete schedule of our runs through both Rock n Roll DC and Boston marathons. Volunteer needs to go with our route schedule are always kept up-to-date on our web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. Post-run drinks are entirely volunteer supported, so if you regularly enjoy this SLR perk, please do your part to keep it going! Volunteering is easy, doesn't take a lot of time, and all restocking expenses will be reimbursed by the club.
Happy running!
Mike
