SLR September 14 - C&O Canal Towpath

Hello Saturday Runners!

This week on September 14, our scheduled run is 20 miles out and back on the C&O Canal Towpath (downloads: cue sheet & GPS). This is our first 20-mile SLR of the season, coinciding with MTP's ramp-up to Marine Corps next month. If your own training schedule call for a different distance, this is a very easy route to modify - just turn around whenever you reach half of your desired distance! Both Jonny and I are out of town this Saturday, so Coach Big Guy will be filling in for us to lead both SLR and MTP.

Thanks this week to Emily & Kenneth Riley for post-run drinks, and Jerry McEnerney for mid-run drinks! Mid-run drinks will be located at Lock 7 on the Towpath, which if you're running 20 miles you'll pass just after 7 miles on the way out, and just before 13 miles on the way back. We're now completely covered for drinks through all runs currently on the schedule, so thanks to all the volunteers! If you can help with post-run drinks in November and beyond, please feel free to send me an email to pre-claim your slot before I post an extended schedule. 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 general info on how volunteering works see the SLR FAQ or send me an email if you have any other specific questions.

Coming up in 2 weeks on 9/29, DCRRC will be putting on the National Capital 20 Miler and 5 Miler races. This is a great tune-up race for fall marathons, and your last opportunity to volunteer for the Bunion Derby. For complete info and registration, follow the link above.

Reminder - if you have not recently renewed your club membership, it expired two weeks ago (Aug 31)! To check your current status or renew if necessary, log in to the club website and go to the My Membership page.

Happy running,

Mike
