There is water at Fletcher’s (miles 2.5 & 12.5) and Glen Echo (mile 7.5).

See everyone bright and early!

LHH 10k Team Sign-Up

Posted on by

WRC’s John Hallett, aka “John the Younger” sez:

I just signed up for this race and created a team for WRC, just in case anyone wants to get a team together. It sounded like a few other people, including John the Elder, plan to run LHH. If we can put a team together, we should be able to dominate the “community/open” team competition if it looks anything like last year.

The team registration for this Grand Prix race closes on Wednesday, June 4.

Joining a team is pretty easy. When you register, the site clearly gives you the option to join an existing team. Then you select the team from a drop-down menu or search for it by name (team name: Washington Running Club).

So be like the Johns: wear you club singlet, have a heart, and race with your club!

Sunday Distance Run – 5/18

Posted on by

The planned run for tomorrow will be around 15 miles that will include a few trails. We will connect with the Glover-Archbold trail route off of the CCT. This will take us around to Peirce Mill where we will take the (upper) Western Ridge Trail past the stables to Bingham Drive. We will take Bingham to Beach Drive where we will proceed back down on the Valley Trail. The segment from Peirce Mill, up, around, and back down to Georgetown can be viewed here.

In-House descriptions of both parts are also available here:
Glover-Archbold Trail (9.9 Miles)
Bingham Drive – Valley Trail Loop (5.8 miles)

The maps are intended to be general idea of the trail routes, but some improvisation may be required. If you are uncertain about the directions (which may be most of us), then please stay within shouting distance of the trail master! We will stop for water at Peirce Mill (in both directions).

Yes, still meeting at 8:00 AM in front of CB2 (33rd and M Street, Georgetown).
