The 2022 WRC Annual Meeting/Social will take place Friday 23 Sep 2022 7:30P. Join us!

You must be a member in good standing (2022 dues paid) to attend; you can join/renew your membership at the door or, before the event, here at washrun.org (https://www.washrun.org/membership/). Annual dues are $25 individual/$40 family. Members are welcome to bring one guest for $10 additional.

Refreshments: heavy hors d’oeuvres; BYOB (but, no red wine please!); non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.

Agenda: elections are unlikely this year: the current board members (https://www.washrun.org/about-us/board-members/) are expected to continue serving into 2023. If you wish to contest for or nominate someone for a position, however, please email washrunclub2@gmail.com no later than Friday 16 Sep 2022, in which case this could change. Otherwise, the agenda is: eat, drink, be merry, one-two speeches, and (technology gods permitting) *karaoke*.

Location: a super-nice high-rise club room in Rosslyn VA just blocks from Key Bridge. For more info please email washrunclub2@gmail.com

RSVP: If you think you’ll attend, do us a favor and RSVP by Wed 21 Sep to washrunclub2@gmail.com.

Hope to see you there!

Sunday long run restart

We will plan the long-awaited restart of the Sunday long runs on May 23! The Mayor’s Order for the health emergency ends on May 20, and the 23rd is the first Sunday following this. We will send out more details as the date approaches, but for now, it’s something we can all look forward to. Watch this space for updates.
