Next week: we have our usual 6:30 am runs Mon/Wed, meeting at Rabaut Park, but we're canceling the Thu track workout for the holiday. Happy July 4th!

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

We have three runs next week:
- Mon 6/17, usual 6:30 am at Rabaut Park
- Wed 6/19, 7:30 am start for Juneteenth, at Rabaut
- Thu 6/20, 6:30 am at the track

We're starting at 7 am on Monday 5/27, a later meeting time for Memorial Day, and getting coffee after the run.

Daylight Saving Time arrives on Sunday, but we'll be running at 6:30 am M/W/Th as usual, waiting for the sunrise to catch up. Meanwhile, here are tips for easing the time shift. https://t.co/uvAUb8j8OO

@imagineterrain Fifteen miles is a solid long run. We can figure out shorter options, too.

NASA's Perseverance rover spent 3 years exploring the Martian surface. A clever map from the Post placed the rover's 15 mile path atop a map of DC—we figure, if you can map the route, why not run it?

@imagineterrain It's on! We'll run it later this spring. Start at the Washington Monument, bop around the Mall, and work our way north. We'll post more with a date and more details. Everyone's welcome, of course.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

We'll do this as a long run some weekend later this spring. Please join. (We'll post about it here.)

The Perseverance rover's path on Mars, overlaid on a DC map for scale, by @KarklisCarto. A lovely visualization.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

@imagineterrain @KarklisCarto This would work as a route for a run! We'll plan something.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

Meanwhile, we have one more run this week—track on Thursday, 6:30 am.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

Monday 2/19 is Presidents' Day, and we're starting the run later for the holiday, 7:30 am at Rabaut Park.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

We're canceling our runs on Wed 1/17 and Thu 1/18 because we expect that sidewalks will be slick with ice. Hope you can get out later and enjoy the snow!

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

Next week, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we'll meet at 7:30 am.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

We expect that the storm will have blown through overnight, and we'll be running at our usual 6:30 am on Wednesday. (Sunrise is climbing earlier again, too!)

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

We're changing our schedule for the holidays: runs on Dec. 25 and Jan. 1 are canceled, but otherwise we are meeting as usual.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

No track on Thu 11/16 or on Thanksgiving Day, but we are running at our regular 6:30 am start time on Mon 11/20 and Wed 11/22.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

With the return of Standard Time on Sunday, it'll be light again in the mornings. Come run with us next week and catch the sunlight—6:30 am, Mon/Wed at Rabaut Park, Thu at the track.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

Total distance: roughly 4.6 mi, plus however many stair climbs you want to do.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

We have a special spooky Halloween workout, Thu 10/26. Instead of track, we'll meet at 6:15 am at Rabaut Park, then jog over to the Exorcist Steps in Georgetown for stair repeats. Back to Adams Morgan by ~7:30.

[Midcity Runners @midcityrun]

The Zoo Loop trail goes back to 7 am–5 pm hours for the fall/winter. (We'll keep running through there in the morning as long as light allows!) https://t.co/I2cgxNd61M
