This Sat, Aug. 11th, we will be running the Arlington Triangle Loop, Counter Clock Wise though, so heading up Custis trail first. The listed route mileage is 16.5 miles. Check this gmap-pedometer map for full details.
Please thank Rich Mendelowitz and Chris Britz for our post-run Beverages, and a big thanks to Jenn Zielinski for mid-run drinks. Fall months are open for post-run beverage volunteers (September is right around the corner) - please email slr@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out.
Directions: You know the drill - but just do the loop Counter Clock Wise this time! So, go through Rosslyn, head up Custis trail first (knock that hill out while its still cool), then enjoy a gradual downhill the rest of the run! Take W&OD trail to 4 mile run trail until it hits Mt. Vernon trail near DCA. Take Mt. Vernon trail North toward Memorial bridge, and finish at the park NW of Iwo Jima. Plenty of waterfountains and a few restrooms along the way too.
Mileage Options:
16.5: Take Left on Memorial Bridge (don't run up to Roosevelt Island).
18.25: Continue on Mt. Vernon and do a loop around Roosevelt Island (as detailed in the gmap-pedometer map)
Stay cool, take it easy on the hills, and remember to hit those water fountains before you get thirsty! Happy Running!
