Welcome! This is the home of the world-famous (well, maybe locally well-known) SLR.
Our start time is at 8:00 AM until next summer! Every Saturday we meet at North Meade Street Park, a small park northwest of the USMC War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial) in Rosslyn. The closest address for mapping purposes is 1300 Arlington Blvd, and street parking is available in the neighborhoods adjacent to N. Meade Street. Be mindful of parking signs, since Arlington County enforces them enthusiastically, and please do not park on Marine Memorial Circle (inside Iwo Jima), because this parking area is for memorial use only. At least one porta-john is available year-round near the Iwo Jima Memorial, and the memorial's water fountain is usually on during the summer.
We run rain or shine! In cases of extreme weather (snow, ice, thunderstorms, heat waves) we do occasionally either change our meeting time or cancel the run for safety, but the run will be held as planned unless otherwise posted via email/twitter/facebook and here on the SLR web page.
All are welcome! We're an informal group, and there are no requirements for speed, racing experience, or what distance means "long" for you, other than the suggested route that most of our group will be running each week. If you don't want to run the same distance or course as the main group, you can go out for half of your own target distance and re-trace your steps back to Iwo Jima. More specific route info and mileage options will be given in the email/post preceding each Saturday's run. SLR always features a run from our extensive Route Catalog, which gives us a wide range of options to keep things fresh for you each week. We have routes that are flat, hilly, looped, out & back, roads, sidewalks, trails, and more, reaching all around the local area of DC, VA, and MD!
For more details about Saturday Long Runs please read our Frequently Asked Questions to get a sense for what it's like to run with us, or send an email to Anna if you have any other questions that are not covered.

SLR Updates!
Hi Everyone,We are all set for this Saturday's (Oct 6) SLR---
1) The route is out-and-back on the Custis and W&OD trails for a total of 20 miles:
http://www.dcroadrunners.org/longrun/routes/CustisMathis.html
Note that we will not be providing cue-sheets as this is a fairly straight-forward route (at least for SLR :P)
Also note that you can shorten the route by turning around early....
2) Richard Rapine will be sub-leading....as I will be in Miami.
3) John Coogan will be providing the mid-point beverage stop.
He will be on the trail between I-66 and the Beltway. There is a park
there.
He asked me to make sure people understand that when they cross the first highway, that is only I-66, and the Beltway is another half mile.
4) Andrew Kent will be providing the post-run beverages.
5) We will start at 7am this week.....and will switch to an 8am start NEXT week, Oct 13....
Have a great run,
:)Kerry.
