Hello Saturday Runners!
This is MCM weekend, so there is a lot to report. First, we are moving to our 8AM start time on Saturday! The route on Saturday is the Cathedral/Clintons route. Please thank Brian Danza for leading in my absence, and thank Eleanor Evans for providing the post-run beverages.
Because this is MCM weekend, there are also some pieces of news for Sunday!
On-Course Cheering: We will be gathering on 14th Street between C&D to support our runners with a cheering station. Bring your cowbells and loud voices and any other support gear you like. Look for those bright yellow DCRRC singlets and YELL! Thanks to Brian Danza for setting this up!
Start/Finish Tent: For the second year in a row, DCRR will be co-hosting a special finisher's tent in the Charity Village (near Iwo Jima) for use by all club members and MTP participants. This year we will be sharing our tent with World T.E.A.M. Sports. See other information on the website, and check the MCM maps for specific location. You may use the tent for your drop bags to avoid the 35,000-runner "real" drop bag system. However, should anything be lost/misplaced/stolen, only you are responsible, so please do not leave valuables, and please do sign in. Thanks to Karol Murray, Alex Barrage, and the DCRRC Board for arranging this great benefit for our MCM runners!
Tent Volunteers: We'd like to show our support by stocking the tent with goodies (food and drink) and staffing the tent with a volunteer to greet our finishers and hold down the fort from 6am - 2pm. If you can take a shift, please send an email with the subject "MCM Tent", your name, and the times you can be available to slr@dcroadrunners.org. If you don't specify times, you'll be given any shift of approximately 2 hours. The schedule will be posted on the SLR page.
Thank you all for your help with these efforts, best of luck to all MCM runners, and have a Happy MCM Weekend!!
