Hello Runners!
This Saturday, Oct 12th, we will be running the Marine Corp Marathon Mock route, listed at about 16 miles. This should get you in the mood for the big race coming up! Or if you aren't running McM this year its still a nice route on its own.
Thank you to Maureen Atkins for our post-run drinks! As always we could use volunteers for the coming months. Email SLR@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out!
Check the map and cue sheet for details. Its 16 miles on its own, but easily cut down to 13 miles - at about mile 9.75 once you are close to the Washington Monument, skip the run up to the Capital Building by heading back to the 14th Street Bridge. This cuts off 3 miles. You can also cut off 3 miles earlier in the run by skipping Hains Point.
As far as shutdown stuff goes, I'm hoping we will not be affected. Parts of the Mall that may be closed can be avoided by taking sidewalks. Don't count on any water fountains being on, not that we will need them too badly, things should be cool and cloudy out.
Run Happy!
