Just a reminder that tomorrow's route is a new route---Glover Archbold to Wisconsin to Capitol Crescent trail. 16 miles. The cue sheet is pasted in below.
I will not be at SLR as I will be off in Pennsylvania coaching at a cross country meet....but Brian Danza will be sub-leading in my absence.
Leilani and Rob Morton will be providing the midpoint beverage stop and will most likely be putting the stop at the entrance to the Capital Crescent Trail in Downtown Bethesda.
Ashley and Aaron will be providing the post-run beverages.
