SLR July 8 - Pentagon Army Navy

Hello Saturday Runners!

Our Saturday morning route this week, on July 8, will be the 12 mile Pentagon - Army Navy loop (downloads: cue sheet and gpx). To shorten the route by 1 mile, you can return to Iwo Jima past Arlington Cemetery rather than going up to the Key Bridge. If you'd like to add distance, you can easily do so on either the Mt. Vernon or Custis trail, or Roosevelt Island if it is open (there have been some closures recently).

Thank you Christie Wetzel and Rodrigo Vellon for post-run drinks! Due to lack of a volunteer, we do not have mid-run drinks this week. There are a lot of upcoming openings in the schedule for mid-run drinks, so please take a look at what's needed 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
