WRC should NEVER turn down an invitation to a party!

Posted on by

From our friend, Samia Akbar at the Clarendon Pacers:

“I just wanted to extend an invite to you and everyone else at the Washington Running Club to the Nike Women’s Half Prep-Rally put on by Pacers happening Thursday, April 11th. This event will be held at the Clarendon location at 7pm. We’ll have plenty of delicious food, sweet treats, giveaways, fashion shows, specials on Nike apparel, a DJ etc!!! It’s going to be a super fun atmosphere so please feel free to stop in and bring friends. This open to everyone, people training for the race and new runners alike.”

I am thinking we gather at American Tap Room (map) afterwards? Should be fun for all!

Movie is on its way!

Posted on by

Kit, Michaela, and Carla are going to make sure the movie, Town of Runners, is a success.  We are working hard on getting this off the ground. Michaela already has lots of good suggestions from her contacts at Georgetown. If anyone has ideas for a place to screen the movie, please let us know. We are looking for a spot in Georgetown, hopefully, for a screening on Saturday afternoon, April 27th.

This should coincide nicely with lots of hoopla surrounding the Nike Women’s Half Marathon the next day.
