Former Site Archive

As promised in my opening explanatory post, the former DC Road Runners website has been archived at a new URL. There is a stable link to the archive in the footer of the new site.

All of the club’s historical race results are stored there. As we look toward the future, we will continue to explore ways to ensure that we have an accurate record of our race results and that those results are archived consistently and reliably. The former site will likely not be the place where we continue to catalog our race results.

In a similar manner, we will be using the new website to build our future history. We do not want to lose the information from the past, but our goal is to continue to establish an online presence for the club here on our new site.

Once again, we are indebted to the club’s past leadership, and we are grateful for all of the work that they conducted—online and off—to get us to this point.

Some Technical Stuff

Presently, we are working on backend search engine optimization improvements that will help the new site rank well in Google and that will also, we hope, strengthen our online presence overall. Sometimes these things go smoothly. Sometimes they do not. This morning, right now, they are not going smoothly!

We’re also working on a variety of backend performance settings to get the new site running effectively. We’re on an entirely new platform, and given that we updated our URL structure, there will be redirects to create.

The site has been a little laggy this week. We know this, and we are working on it, and I suspect that soon, things will clear up. I appreciate your patience during the transition.

Just know that our Monday and Saturday run schedules are updated, and our track workouts are listed through the end of February.

Also, Spring 10K Training is open! Come train with us!
