Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday on November 23, our route will be the 14 mile loop Glover - Soapstone - Rock Creek (downloads: cue sheet and GPS). We have a little bit of rain in the forecast on Friday midday, and then some more Saturday afternoon, but hopefully things will remian dry enough on Saturday morning to run the trails on this route. The lower entrance to the Glover - Archbold trail is probably still closed, so if so you can enter the trail by going up Foxhall Rd to take a right on 44th St NW, and then a right on P St NW, which will end at an entrance to the trail.
Thank you Eiko Sato for our post-run drinks this week! 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 next week, DCRR and the Del Rey Business Association will be holding the 44th annual Alexandria Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, November 28, at 9:00 am. This five mile race is one of our club's biggest events of the year, so start your turkey early on Thanksgiving morning and then head over to George Washington Middle School in Del Rey to either run or volunteer. As the region's premier Turkey Trot, the totally flat course will be equally friendly to elite level competition, PR chasing, strollers, families, dogs, and costumes! For more info and registration, please go to alexandriaturkeytrot.com.
Happy running,
Mike
