2nd Annual Run of Shame

Monday, September 7, 2015

8:30 a.m. Georgetown Waterfront Park

Sponsored by the Washington Running Club

Join WRC for our 2nd annual Run of Shame – a 6 mile fun run around some of the most scandalous spots in DC. Learn a bit of history and get in a good run while spending the holiday with your favorite running group!  Easy conversation (and gossip) pace run.

We’ll leave from the intersection of Wisconsin Ave NW and Water Street NW at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, September 7. Hope to see you there!

Cool off and play in the fountain afterwards and snack on cold watermelon. Hope to see you there!

The professionals are calling for something around 50 during tomorrow’s SDR. Sounds good!

The planned route is Tour of Arlington (around 16 miles). If running something shorter (or otherwise different) then make sure to coordinate prior to 0805 launch!

We will have a small pack running earlier (yes one more time) at 0700 with mileage options between 12 and 20.

Either way….meet at 33rd and M in front of CB2. Coffee afterwards!

And…good luck to those racing tomorrow!
