Club Members and Guests:
1. 20-Miler Registration is now CLOSED. As announced in the entry form, we are limited by the conditions of our permit to a specified number of runners, and that number has been reached. As a result, entries are now closed. There will be absolutely NO registration on race-day. Entries at packet pick up on September 23 will be limited to those who have communicated a request prior to 10:00 am on September 21, and can verify that request, as well as a response from the Race Director or Club President.
2. 20-Miler Volunteer(s) Needed -- Lead Bike and Trailer: We are in need of a volunteer willing to be the "lead bike" at Sunday's race, as well as someone willing to serve as the "trailer" (on bike or foot) to ensure that we know when the last competitor has crossed the finish line. Please reply to president@dcroadrunners.org if you can serve in either capacity. If you would like to volunteer in other capacities, we can use you!
3. 20-Miler Packet Pick-Up: Will be at Gotta Run at Pentagon Row shopping mall in Arlington, off Army-Navy Drive near Pentagon City, on Saturday 9/23 from 11 to 5. Please take this opportunity to pick up your number and avoid the rush on Sunday morning. Also, take advantage of Gotta Run's generous 15% discount to Club members.
4. 20-Miler Time Limit: If you are entered, please remember that there is a 4-hour time limit for finishing the race. If you feel you cannot accomplish this, please contact an official on Sunday morning to request an early start.
5. Track Workout: We will be on the track this Wednesday, September 27. We will be back on the trail the first two weeks of October, then back on the track the last two weeks of October.
6. Army 10-Miler Restrictions: If you are entered for this race, you probably have received the notice regarding restrictions on heart-rate monitors and self-carried fluids. If not, please check out the race website.
7. Rediscovery 10K: The Club is co-sponsoring this fine, flat, fast 10K on Sunday October 1. Please enter if you want to test yourself on a favorable 10K course. Also, a small number of volunteers are needed for the finish line -- please contact club president if you can help.
Good luck to the 20-Milers and 5-Milers!
