I Run, You Run

Monday Courthouse Run - 40 Min

March 11 · 7:00 PM
Courthouse Plaza Parking Garage

On Monday, we'll meet in front of 2100 Clarendon Blvd around 6:50pm and head out for a nice hilly run at 7pm. If you're planning to stay after for drinks, you may want to bring a towel, change of clothes or extra layers.

Notes:

If you're not familiar with the area, please review the routes.
HEADLAMPS/REFLECTIVE GEAR: Please bring lights and wear reflective gear and if you don't have any... time to get some!

Routes:
We'll alternate between the following routes. Both routes are hilly. We'll run 20 minutes out and then turn around and run 20 minutes back to Courthouse. Everyone runs at his/her own pace, so the distance will depend on your speed.

1) First and Third Monday
Courthouse to Custis Trail West (rolling hills)
Veitch St. to the Custis Trail; West toward Glebe Rd.

2) Second and Fourth Monday
Courthouse to Georgetown Waterfront (one giant hill)
Veitch St. to the Custis Trail; downhill to Key Bridge; over to the Georgetown Waterfront.

Pace:
All paces are welcome! We'll be doing an out and back route, so everyone will just turn around at the halfway time marker. That way we should all start and end at the same time.

Free Parking at Courthouse Plaza:
The underground garage is on Clarendon Blvd btwn Wayne and Veitch Sts. (near Ray's the Steaks, Strayer/CVS and the AMC Theater). If the first 2 levels on the left are full, you can park on the lower levels to the right. You can probably park at meters in the area for free as well.

Metro:
Orange line to Courthouse Station.

We are a group of runners in our 20's and 30's, with members ranging from beginner runners to those who have been running for years. Nothing like knowing others are waiting for you to make sure you go out and run! We are not competitive, regardless of pace (we have some very fast runners in the group, and very slow runners, and even if you can't run the whole thing, and need a walk break, it's ok). We always welcome new faces!

Our weekday runs are always by time, not distance, so that we can all begin and end together. Our long runs are on Saturday mornings, but there's always an option on running for time as well.

There are plenty of groups out there for competitive runners but not much for the runners who want a laid back environment to meet new friends, keep them motivated to run, and have company when training for a race (or run for other reasons -- personal goals? Weight Loss? Just because?).

If you want to have fun when you're running, and make some great new friends, this is the group for you!

The focus will be getting people who are committed to train together and motivate each other, no matter how slow or far you go at first. No need to be intimidated!

We also participate in many local races as a group (check out our calendar) -- it's always a blast! Running is a lot more fun in a group. We have trained together for the Shamrock Half Marathon, National Half, Cherry Blossom Ten Miler, VA Beach Rock n Roll Half Marathon, Army Ten Miler, Chicago Marathon and the Marine Corps Marathon.

We will also train together for this year's races!

Of course, you don't have to be running a race to join our training runs -- we just need the company to keep us motivated to start and finish each time!

The vast majority of the runs are in the Arlington area. Sometimes we grab a snack or coffee on those weekend morning runs and plan a happy hour (and occasional social events like BBQ) about once a month.

Make sure to post a picture so we know who you are!
