Don’t forget to come out to the Happy Hour at the Sculpture Garden this evening (National Gallery of Art, Jazz in the Garden) starting at 4:30. It will be a great time and a chance to say farewell to long-time WRC member Emily Buzzell who is going back to school.

Hey all,
Another reminder that we will be seeing Boston, An American Running Story, which is playing at the Gallery Place Cinema at April 19 at 7:30 pm. We will hold a happy hour at Clyde’s of Gallery Place nearby, starting at 4 when the drinks and raw bar are half price.

And as usual, join us this Sunday at 8:00 AM in front of the Georgetown CB2 store for our weekly long run! Sweat a lot, get those endorphins roaring, and stick around for coffee, carbs, and conversation afterwards.

Tomorrow is our WRC community service project from 7:30 am to 10 am. We’ll be helping out with Saturday morning meal preparation at Charlie’s Place in Kalorama (near Dupont Circle). Charlie’s Place is a non-denominational, anti-hunger, homeless ministry of St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church. If you’re able to join us, please rsvp through the Facebook event page.

As always, we meet Sunday for our group run. Still at 8:00 am, still in front of the CB2, still running 4-12 miles, still meeting for coffee and food around 9:15.

Please join us on Sunday March 5 at 8:00 am in front of CB2 in Georgetown for our weekly group run. It’s the first Sunday of the month, so we’ll have our group picture before the run. Then stick around for coffee and conversation at Peet’s on M Street.

If you think that WRC is worth more than, or equal to, $1.67 per month, please go to our website and start or renew your membership.http://www.washrun.org/membership/

Contact me if you’re interested in joining our alternative run on March 12 as we travel to Chester, Maryland to participate in the Get Pumped For Pets 5K, 10K, or 15K.

Hey gang!

Starting THIS Sunday, September 11, 2016, our winter hours are in effect. This means that our runs now through Memorial Day 2017 will start at 8:00 a.m. and NOT 7:00 a.m. Spread the word – everyone deserves an extra hour of sleep!

(We recognize that it’s completely crazy to call the start time “winter hours” when it’s 100 degrees outside, but that’s the name nonetheless)

Hope to see you on Sunday for our distance run. The run starts in front of the CB2 store in Georgetown (3307 M Street NW) at 8:00 a.m. All paces and distances welcome.

Washington Running Club
3rd Annual Labor Day Run of Shame

 Monday, September 5th, 2016
8:30 am Georgetown Waterfront Park

Join the Washington Running Club on a 6 mile fun run, stopping at some of DC’s notorious spots to learn about the intrigue, scandal, shame and history that has shaped our city. Entertaining speakers, easy pace, good conversation, great folks.

Finish up with a splash in the fountain and cold watermelon!

 Leaving from the intersection of Wisconsin and Water Street at 8:30 am

The start of summer is usually marked by BBQs and the beach, but for WRC, it’s marked by the start of our “summer hours”. That’s right, starting this Sunday, May 29 through Labor Day, our runs will start at 7:00 a.m. instead of 8:00 a.m. This will help us beat the heat as we start training for fall races.
