We have ordered up a dry and windy morning for tomorrow’s 8:00 am social run. Come join us in front of CB2, burn a few pre-Thanksgiving calories, and then spend a few quality moments with us at Dean & Deluca after the run.

May 19-Happy Hour and Sunday Run!
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.
We’ll be meeting on Sunday for our weekly social run. It looks like the weather will cooperate, so come join us outside of the CB2 in Georgetown at 8:00 am. Stick around for coffee (almost certainly at Dean and Deluca based on the weather report). As always, all are welcome, so bring a friend along.
It’s May Membership Drive (kind of like NPR Pledge Drive, but less annoying). If WRC enriches your life, please become a dues-paying member. It’s just pennies a day. http://www.washrun.org/
Stay tuned for a WRC survey in coming weeks, and our summer Saturday neigborhood runs, starting soon.
Movie Night Reminder and Sunday Run
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.
WRC Community Service Project + More!
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.
WRC Happy Hour, formerly known as Thirsty Thursdays, returns on Thursday March 30 at 5:30 pm. This month’s happy hour location is Dirty Habit DC, 555 8th Street NW, in the Hotel Monaco.

Sunday Distance Run – WINTER HOURS are in effect!
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.
