Fall is in the air and the record heat of the summer is a memory. Effective immediately, the Sunday Distance run will return to its regularly scheduled time of 8:00 a.m. That means that on Sunday, September 23, 2012, we start at 8 a.m. in our usual spot, the north side of the 3300 block of M Street, NW, D.C. in front of the CB2 store.
Love WRC, Love Your Park!

As summer is winding down, it’s time for WRC’s seasonal happy hour. For this event, the club will travel to Northern Virginia to make life a bit easier for all you members in that neck of the woods. The popular Clarendon rooftop bar of Whitlow’s on Wilson is the site. It’s just off the Orange line Metro (Clarendon) at 2854 Wilson Blvd. Arlington, VA. The happy hour starts at 6 p.m. this Wednesday (July 25, 2012) and will end around 8 p.m.
I look forward to seeing you there!
Last chance to order your WRC racing apparel!
Order by Friday June 22
WRC is creating singlets so we can look just as impressive as our race results. Both the men’s and women’s singlets are sleek, lightweight, and bright yellow. The artwork, printed with dark blue ink, will be similar to that used for previous versions of WRC apparel. Take a look at the designs for the front and back.
WRC is subsidizing the singlets, so each one will cost you just $15. Once we have everyone’s requests, we’ll place an order with our distributor and screen printer. So don’t miss out!
To order your singlet(s), please fill out this simple online form. Please note that the original email said the men’s singlets would be Brooks brand; we’re now using Nike as you can see in the above link.
Respond to this email with any questions! This is your last chance to pre-order, so please fill out the online form by Friday June 22. Thanks!
