Runners needed for Blue Ridge Relay team!

Fellow WRC-er Mark Lee is running the Blue Ride Relay on September 11 – 12 and his team is looking for runners! Starting in Grayson Highlands State Park, VA, runners will complete the 208-mile journey to Asheville, NC by running three separate times, totaling an average of 16 miles per runner. If you haven’t run a relay before, it’s a wonderful way to meet new people, challenge yourself, and enjoy a beautiful part of the country.

The team will arrive at the start of the race on Thursday, September 10 and will return on Sunday, September 13. All expenses for the race are covered, and if you’re in the DC area, you can carpool with Mark if needed.

If you’re interested in joining the team, send an email to president@washrun.org and we’ll connect you with Mark.

 

It’s time for the 2nd annual Run of Shame!
