SLR Dec 24 - Holiday "Festivus" Run

Hello Saturday Runners!

 

This Saturday, Dec. the 24th, we will be running our Holiday “Festivus Run” route.  The loop is 10.8 miles (so good for a low mileage week), but feel free to run it twice for almost 22 miles if you need a long run. There are also plenty of chances to turn around along the National Mall for a middle distance run.  Keep an eye out for the National Christmas Tree and National Menorah.

 

Please thank Miguel Cuya for our post-run Beverages.  We are covered for drinks through January, but could always use volunteers for February and beyond.  Email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.

 

Directions:  Okay, there are a lot of little turns and streets so rather than write like a whole page here please check out the cue sheet and map for specifics.  Heated bathrooms under Lincoln Memorial and in the little house behind Washington Monument.

 

Have a great run! Looks like more great running weather ahead; although not as unseasonably warm as this last week its still above average with temps in the high 30s!  Hope everyone has a pleasant and safe Holiday filled with food, family, and friends – or at least eggnog, Sam Adams “Old Fezziwig” Ale, and lots of miles on foot :)
