SLR June 23 - Rock Creek Park

Hello Saturday Runners!

Though you've probably seen the jump-start program with us for the last few weeks, this Saturday 6/23 is the beginning of the club's official marathon training program targeting MCM - please welcome the newcomers you'll be running with! This week's route is out & back on the Rock Creek Park trail (downloads: cue sheet and GPS), for a recommended distance of 10 miles at the beginning of the training program. As this is an out & back route, it's easy to add or subtract any amount of distance that you'd like by picking your own turn-around point. To get 10 miles, you'll be turning around at approximately the lower entrance to the Zoo.

Thanks go to James Sledge for post-run drinks this week! Ted Logothetti will be providing mid-run drinks as well, located at the intersection of Rock Creek Pkwy and Virginia Ave, so you'll get a chance to stop at both 2.5 mi and 7.5 mi if you're going for 10 miles total.

We are in need of more volunteers in August and beyond for post-run drinks as well as mid-run drinks after next week, so please let me know if you can help with either of these. The weekly schedule of volunteers, routes, and distances is always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to book your slot. For more info on how volunteering works, please first see the SLR FAQ, and after that send me an email if you'd like any additional details.

Happy running,

Mike
