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!
