SLR September 2 - Mock MCM

Hello Saturday Runners!

This week's run on September 2 will be a great preview of the Marine Corps Marathon course, with the Mock MCM route (downloads: cue sheet and gpx) covering 16 miles which are a close approximation of the race's middle section. If you'd like to make this run even closer to the race route, you can extend it to 18 or 20 miles by adding on either one or two out & back sections. On the first of these (for 18 miles) you get to check out the race's biggest hill on Lee Hwy, and on the second (for 20 miles, if you do both) you'll add the course's Rock Creek Park section. This alternate map shows the course with both of these additions included. If you'd like a shorter run, you can skip the Independence Ave and Mall sections for 10.5 miles, or add on any portion of those for something in between.

Thank you Caroline Nicholson for post-run drinks, and Gary Morgans for mid-run drinks! You'll pass this week's mid-run drinks twice, at about 7.5 and 12.5 miles into the run, located near the eastern tip of the Tidal Basin and the intersection between Ohio Drive and Maine Ave.

Please take a moment right now to check your membership status and support DC Road Runners Club by renewing your membership through August 31, 2018, for only $25 (individual), $35 (family), or $20 (student).
