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
Hi Everyone,Just a reminder that SLR starts at 7am tomorrow morning for the 14 mile Ross Drive Route:
http://www.dcroadrunners.org/longrun/routes/RossDrive.html
Many thanks to Emily Leary for volunteering to be our post-run beverage person for the month of June :)
Just a heads-up that there is NO mid-point water stop tomorrow, so please know to carry your own fluids if you think you need them. There are a few places to stop for water on this route (at the zoo and at Peirce Mill) so know that you can use those places to get some water or refill water bottles.
Many of you have been responding to sign up for beverage volunteer positions and I greatly appreciate how awesome you all are about pitching in to make SLR work :)
A few spots that I am eager to fill quickly are the June 9, June 23, and June 30 mid-point water stops. Please check the list of routes and let me know if you can cover one of these slots!
