Club Members & Guests:
1. GWB Marathon, Sunday February 17: Volunteers Needed! The 47th Annual George Washington's Birthday Marathon, one of the nation's oldest 26.2 mile events, needs your support! We have runners signed up from around the country, and still need volunteers for the water stops and sentry points along the way. We realize this will be a chilly day, but it's also a lot of fun to be out on the beautiful Greenbelt course and cheer on both the marathoners, and the Marathon Relay participants.
There is a link to the Marathon under the Race Calendar button to your left. If you can volunteer, please email race director Pat Brown at
pbrown@noblis.org2. GWB Marathon: Entries Still Open: For thos ewho prefer to run the marathon, entries are still open. The GWB Marathon is Race #6 in the Bunion Derby. Entries are still open as well for the 3-person Marathon Relay. See the webpage for the Marathon under Race Calendar for further information.
3. 10-Mile Challenge, Sunday Feb. 24 -- Athletes Needed: The annual Washington area RRCA club challenge will be held Sunday, 2/24/08 in Columbia, Maryland. Enter at

Perfect running conditions were offset only slightly by the very challenging climbs up and back on the Custis Trail. Thanks to our friends at Arlington County Parks and recreation for making available our new starting point at Bluemont Park, which seemed to work very well.
We hope to see many of you in Greenbelt on the 17th!
