Hello Saturday Runners!
One more reminder: Since last week, we are now meeting one hour earlier at 7:00 am for the summer!
This week's route on June 10 will be 12 miles, out to some trail running at Potomac Overlook Loops (downloads: cue sheet and gpx). The as-written route is 12 miles with 4 loops of the park, but you can add or subtract distance by doing a different number of loops. Each loop is 1.2 miles, so just running out and back to the park will be about 7 miles. Temperatures will be warming up over this weekend, but it should still be comfortable running in the 60s on Saturday morning!
Mid-run drinks this week will be at the Potomac Overlook Park gazebo near the tennis courts, provided by Rich Mendelowitz, with Elizabeth Kelley covering post-run drinks. Please thank our volunteers for helping to keep you hydrated! There are still lots of opportunities to volunteer for mid-run drinks this summer, as well as post-run drinks later in the season, so please take a look at how you can help out.
Volunteer needs along with the weekly route & distance schedule are always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to schedule your slot. Post-run volunteers are typically scheduled for at least 2 consecutive weeks to cut down on handoffs of the bins, while mid-run drinks can be booked on a week by week basis. SLR drinks are entirely volunteer supported, so if you regularly enjoy this perk, do your part to keep it going! Volunteering is easy, doesn't take a lot of time, and all restocking expenses will be reimbursed by the club.
Happy running!
Mike
