Club Members and Guests:
DON'T MISS the Weekend section in Friday's Washington Post, which will feature DCRRC training programs as part of a story on how to train for a 5K or 10K race.
1. NEXT CLUB RACE is the Burke Lake 12K, Sunday March 1, 2009, at 10:00 am. This is an out and back course about 1/4 on roads and 3/4 on well-marked trails. See Club Calendar for more details. The following race and final Snowball Series event will be the Fort Hunt 10K on Sunday March 8 at 10:00 am. Race director Kristen Blanchat (k_blanchat@yahoo.com) is looking for a few volunteers to help with this race.
2. Sun Trust National Marathon, March 21, 2009: Race Staff and Pace Group Leaders Needed: The National Marathon needs pace group leaders, starting at 3:50 through 5:20, to lead runners to their race goals. FREE entry is guaranteed. If you have already entered, the Race will refund your entry fee. Please contact the Club President at dcrrcpresident@comcast.net if you are interested.
The National Marathon also needs race day staff, to help with the SAG wagons and on-course timing. The positions carry a stipend of $100.00. Please contact the Club president if interested.
3. The Club's March Board Meeting will be Monday, March 9, 2009, at 7:00 pm at the Silver Diner in Clarendon. On the agenda will be slating officers for the 2009-2010 year. If you are interested in such a position, please contact Kerry O'Brien: raptorkerry@yahoo.com

PLEASE talk up the volunteer, marathon race staff, and other needs expressed in this notice. March is one of our real crunch times as a Club, but the planning and commitments we make at this time are what carries us through the next year.
Thanks,
Ed
