SLR Apr 27 - Ross Drive

This Sat, April 27th, we will be running the Ross Drive route, a 14 mile run through Georgetown, down "Lover's Lane", and across Rock Creek Park.  Be sure to check the cue sheet and route map for details if you are at all unsure.  I won't be there but have a sub starting things off.  I have posted SLR routes on the SLR website through the end of June for us all to look forward to!

Please thank Jeff Austin for great post-run beverage work this month! Additional drink volunteers are always appreciated - its not a lot of work and the club reimburses your expenses.  Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.  Remember, once it heats up in summer we will start needing mid-run beverage volunteers (in addition to monthly post-run beverage volunteers) to keep us cool during our long runs, so start planning early!

If you would like to add on a little: when you are heading back, rather than making a right onto M street, continue down to the Georgetown Waterfront, and turn left to run toward (and under) the Kennedy Center.  Stay on the Rock Creek Park trail south, take Memorial Bridge back to VA and run on path alongside Arlington Cemetary to reach Iwo Jima.  This should add about 2.5 miles.

Run Strong and enjoy the great running weather!

SLR Apr 20 - Cathedral + Clintons

Saturday Runners,

This Sat, April 20th, we will be running the Cathedral + Clintons route. The listed route mileage is 13 miles. Please check the cue sheet for directions and map. Mileage options to follow.

Please thank Jeff Austin for post-run beverage work this month. Additional drink volunteers are always appreciated - its not a lot of work and the club reimburses your expenses. Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.  In club news, there is a Happy Hour Friday April 19th at the 4 Courts Pub in Courthouse (Arlington) from 6-9pm.  Come enjoy a drink with your fellow club members - Just don't be too hungover at SLR of course!  Also, the GW Parkway 10 Miler is Sunday and DCRRC has a drink stop - I'm sure they could still use volunteers if you aren't running.

Mileage Options:

11: While on Cleveland Ave, take a left (instead of a right) on 34th street to cut off Cathedral portion. Then left on Massachusetts Ave to rejoin the route. This cuts off a mile. Then you can also return via Key Bridge to cut off another mile.

13: Run route as written, take Rock Creek trail back, and cross Memorial Bridge to return.

15: As you are on your way back on the Rock Creek trail, run up toward the Lincoln Memorial and out Henry Bacon Dr. to run on path next to Constitution Ave, right on 17th Street, past WWII memorial, right on Independence Ave, take that back to Memorial Bridge; this adds 2 miles.

Run Strong - Now and Forever.
