Hello Saturday Runners!
This Saturday, February 21st, the originally planned route was Potomac Overlook Loops for 13 miles, but with this week's snow the trail is not currently runnable. As an alternate, I will suggest an out & back run on the Custis/W&OD trails, because they were plowed promptly and are completely clear at least all the way out to East Falls Church. From Iwo Jima to East Falls Church and back will get you about 13 miles. To add more distance or variety, a loop past Arlington Cemetary, Memorial Bridge, Rock Creek Trail, Georgetown, and Key Bridge will add about 4.5 miles and should also be relatively clear of snow and ice.
Thank you Christine Westcott for post-run drinks this weekend! The next beverage opening is coming up soon on March 7th and 14th, so please volunteer if you plan to be at SLR for those two weeks. Visit the SLR page any time to see current needs, and email if you can help. This is an easy way to support your fellow runners, and the club will reimburse all expenses.
Happy running!
Mike
