This Sat, May 3rd, we will be running the MaryMount/ Chain Bridge route. Its listed at 14 miles but easily shortened if you prefer a bit less. If you only want 12 miles you can come back via the Key Bridge (don't run through Georgetown). For the full 14, go through Georgetown and come back via Memorial Bridge.
Please be advised the Capital Crescent trail (the paved one) is closed between Fletchers Boathouse and Georgetown, so while this shouldn't affect us, use caution and stay on the Canal Towpath. Speaking of, Water/restrooms at Fletchers if you need them.
New routes will be posted soon to get us through May. For now, we will be holding steady with maintenance runs between 10 and 16 miles - later in summer we will get back up doing the extra long runs in prep for fall marathons. We may even have an exciting new route in June... Remember, the SLR virtual mailbox is always open (as in, email), so feel free to send along questions, comments, or [constructive] critisism!
Thank you to Lindsey Paola for post-run beverages! As always, we seek volunteers for post-run beverages for the coming months - email SLR@dcroadrunners.org if you can help out. And don't forget, we will be starting up mid-run beverages in June for those hot summer days, so please start figuring out which Saturday you can volunteer!
Hope you are drying out for some great running weather this weekend!
