Hello Saturday Runners!
Our route this week, on June 24, will be 12 miles to RFK (downloads: cue sheet and gpx). This is an out & back route, so you can shorten it to any other distance you like by turning around earlier. For a longer run, you can extend this route to 16 miles by taking a left at 15th St on your way back, and going down around the tip of Hains Point before heading back along the river up to Memorial Bridge. Some rain is in the forecast for the early hours of tomorrow morning, but hopefully it will have passed by 7:00 am. Either way, be ready for a very humid run with the dew point above 70 deg F, and be sure to stay hydrated!
Mid-run drinks this week will be near the center of Lincoln Park on E Capitol St, thanks to Erin and John Velasco! Going out and back to RFK, you'll pass them twice at about 5.25 and 7 miles. Thanks also to Elizabeth Kelley for post-run drinks over the last few weeks! There are lots of openings in our volunteer schedule after next week for mid-run drinks, so please take a look and let me know when you can help out.
Volunteer needs along with the weekly route & distance schedule are always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. Post-run volunteers are typically scheduled for at least 2 consecutive weeks to cut down on handoffs of the bins, while mid-run drinks can be booked on a week by week basis. SLR drinks are entirely volunteer supported, so if you regularly enjoy this perk, 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
