This Sat, June 13th, 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. Hopefully this route should keep us in the shade. Routes have been posted through mid September to the SLR website, with a focus on the Marine Corps Marathon - while also trying to keep the other big fall marathons in mind.
In club news, there are a handful of races coming up, most a part of the Bunion Derby race series. Please check the upcoming events page for details. All races could also use volunteer support as well in case you aren't running!
Please thank Angela Katson for great post-run beverage work this month! Former SLR lead Kristin Dahling will be providing our mid-run drinks as well. 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. All the needs are posted on the SLR website; we still need post-run and mid-run drink volunteers for August and September.
To shorten, don't do the loop portion, just make it an out and back. Turn around at Pierce Mill (5 miles out) for 10 total, or turn around a mile later for 12 total. To lengthen route, you can return via Memorial Bridge, this should add about 2 miles for 16 total.
Run Strong and stay Cool!
