WRC Annual Party 2026

The night was full of fun events! Food, raffles, awards and a tiny bit of karaoke.

All of our board members have remained the same and are back on for 2026! Kat Moore– president, Henry Wade– vice president, Katie Beuadoin– secretary, James Scarborough– treasurer and our board members, Robert Kirk, Frithjov Iversen, Jordan Konig, John Smilde and Nelle Paoli.

This years Runner(s) of the year were Alina Korovatskaya and Jordan Konig. Very well deserved as both continue to strive for excellence in their running. Alina has PR’ed in her races in 2025 including Rock and Roll Half Marathon, Marine Corp Marathon and the DC Half. Jordan had so much determination and grit in his 2025 marathons (Erie, Indy, Chicago) training with the goal of qualifying for Boston. We see him regularly training hard and getting his sweat on with his track running group (Cardozo Crawlers) getting it. This year he got into Berlin Marathon! Amazing!

We had a new category this time around- Masters Runner(s) of the year. The two selected were Frithjov Iversen and Christine Brune. Excellent runners that show determination and grit as well. They have both had some health setbacks in the past that they have overcome. Those things weren’t stopping them from getting after it! Both have been training for races and getting strong! Frithjov has done races such as Army 10 miler, Cherry Blossom 10 M and several other community lead races in the area. Christine is doing races in her hometown of Nebraska and training around Lake Z! Well done!

Thank you to Potomac Run and Walk, Georgetown Cupcakes and Zia Physiotherapy. They were kind enough to help us out with raffle prizes. We also acquired a few nice things from our members!

What’s Quorum Got To Do, Got To Do With It?

Lured by the promise of an f-heavy offering (fresh fruit, farmer’s market frittata, and French press coffee), WRC’s Board of Directors convened this morning in Arlington at Masterson Manor, for their second quarterly meeting. All serving members were in attendance, and a lot of ground was covered. In a nutshell, the state of the club is very strong, and we’re making lots of progress on all fronts.

While the official minutes will be reported in the upcoming May edition of the WRC Newsletter (please subscribe here or here), there are a couple of line-items that bear immediate reporting:

  • The next Grand Prix race, the Capitol Hill Classic 10K, is coming up on May 19th, and GP coordinator David Pittman encourages everyone racing there to remember to register their WRC affiliation for team scoring through the race.
  • President Kirk Masterson will be hosting a WRC Happy Hour on Thursday, May 23rd, at Circa in Foggy Bottom, between 6-8 pm. Calendar. Map.
  • The board collectively decided to adjust the Sunday Distance Run‘s starting time to its Summer schedule of 7:00 AM, beginning Sunday June 2nd. This is the first Sunday after Memorial Day weekend, and right about when the perfect storm of heat, humidity, and cicadas should enrobe our fair city. An early start will help us to deal with that thrilling prospect.

Also, the next Quarterly Board Meeting has been scheduled for Saturday, August 17th, time and location both TBD. Please check the WRC Events Calendar, where we will keep all of these important details up-to-date.

Like I said, there’s a whole lot of other material that will be covered in the official club minutes. But for right now, this is the stuff that’s at close range and makes the pulse react.
