Training for Spring 10 milers and half marathons starts January 17. We'll target the Cherry Blossom Ten Miler and the Alexandria Half but can accommodate other races, such as the Rock and Roll Half and Shamrock Half as well.

• Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced Training: This year we're introducing a more robust intermediate and advanced training program designed for those of you looking for a PR. Don't worry, we'll still offer a beginner program.
• All paces are welcome!If you haven't trained with us in a while, you may not know that we have pacers who run a 7:30 pace through a 12:30+ run/walk pace.

Training is $40 plus processing fees for members (discount will be applied at checkout) and $75 plus processing fees for non-members. Non-members receive a coupon code for a free membership after signing up.

Ever struggle with figuring out what pace you should run your training runs at? Wonder how to set realistic race goals? On February 7, 2026, we'll have a free training seminar and time trial at Pacers in Georgetown. If you've never done a time trial before, they're a great way to monitor your running performance and see improvement as your training progresses. After the time trial, your DCRR coaching team will discuss pacing and how to use time trials (and tempo runs) to determine realistic race paces.Pacers will give everyone who attends a 10% discount on shoes and apparel. We'll also offer a light "runners breakfast" after the time trial. Time trial will start at 8:00 a.m. after a short introduction. The seminar will start at 9:30, so if you want to run with SLR and just come for the seminar, that totally works. Questions? Email the training team.

Thank you to everyone who signed up as a pacer. Right now, we only need pacers for the 12-12:30 run/walk group. Sign up to volunteer as a pacer onRunSignUp. If you would like to pace another pace group, email the training team and we can see if we have room for one more pacer.
