If you like to sleep in, Labor Day Weekend marks a very special time for you: winter hours for WRC Sunday Distance Runs. That’s right, starting THIS Sunday, September 6, our distance runs will start at 8:00 a.m. and NOT 7:00 a.m.
We’ll still be meeting in front of the CB2 store in Georgetown for an 8-18 mile run at the 7:30 min/mile, 8:00-8:30 min/mile, and 10:30 min/mile pace groups. Afterwards, we’ll meet for coffee n’ carbs at Dean & Deluca. All are welcome to join!
Enjoy the extra zzzz’s 🙂
And like that…August is over.

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.

Cool off and play in the fountain afterwards and snack on cold watermelon. Hope to see you there!
As always, there’s a lot going on at WRC!

First Sunday Distance Run!
It’s hard to believe, but the first Sunday of August is upon us, which means we’ll take our First Sunday photo. Come in your running best, or whatever is best to beat the heat, and we’ll take the picture pre-run to memorialize another great month of WRC.
As always, we’ll meet in front of the CB2 store in Georgetown and will have three pace groups of 7:30/8:00 min/mile, 8:00/8:30 min/mile, and 10:00/11:00 min/mile each running anywhere from 8-18 miles. Most of our runs are out-and-back, so it’s easy to add or cut mileage.
After the run, we’ll meet at Dean and Deluca for coffee, carbs, and conversation!
Hope to see you there!
