Hello Saturday Runners!
This week's route is the 13 mile DC Sightseer Loop (downloads: cue sheet and GPS). With the cherry blossoms fading fast (but not totally gone yet!) and the festival over, hopefully the crowds will be more manageable this week. If you'd like to shorten the run you can cut about a mile by skipping the Tidal Basin lap, or to cut another ~2.5 miles beyond that you can return directly over Memorial Bridge after reaching the Lincoln Memorial. I'm out of town again this weekend, but Andrew will be starting off the run for you on Saturday morning.
Thank you James Sledge for post-run drinks this week! We currently need more post-run volunteers starting after May 4, so please get in touch if you can help. I've now posted the schedule going out through mid-June, including a couple weeks after Memorial Day when we'll start back up with mid-run drinks, so those volunteer opportunities are available too. The weekly schedule of volunteers, routes, and distances is always kept up-to-date on the SLR web page, and you can email me any time to book your slot. For general info on how volunteering works see the SLR FAQ or send me an email if you have any other specific questions.
Happy running,
Mike
