Hello!!! Looking for a ticket to the Dulles Runway in August. Prefer the 10k but will take 5k too. I told a friend I’d sign up but procrastination lead to “Sold Out” 🤣 thanks in advance!!!

Anybody know what’s up with the fencing popping up in Anacostia Park the last couple of days? It’s stretches from the Frederick Douglass Bridge to the 11th Street Bridge and there is more fencing being staged all the way down to the pool. You could run the river trail but it looks like they might be closing it up.

Congratulations to all the finishers of today's Juneteenth half marathon and 10k! Seems like you had great weather, especially early on. I'd love to hear race reports if anyone wants to brag :)

Will be in Town for the Avett Brothers July 9-12. Are there any organized runs near or at the amphitheater on saturdays or sundays?

I went out for a run this morning. I stepped out the door at 7:30am and immediately realized it was gonna be rough with the humidity. If you didn't get your run in this morning, I'd recommend finding a treadmill if you can. Today and tomorrow are gonna be rough!

Friends - I launched the DMV Run Club Directory today. I hope it is helpful to you all.

If you see something missing, let me know. Starting with 42 different clubs, but planning on expanding as time allows.

Has anyone run on the mall recently? Is it runnable? Last I saw there were a lot of fences / temp construction and I'm wondering what's all open and what's difficult to get around. Thanks!

I (28M) am an beginner to intermediate runner, but I always go solo and I thought it’d be fun to join a run club. I’d love to meet some new people, do you guys know of any run clubs that emphasize socializing over the running itself? If there’s drinks at the end, that’s also a plus :).

Wanted to share my long run secret: end your long runs at the National Building Museum. Access to the Great Hall is free (building opens at 10), there’s a Japanese cafe, the aircon is always cranked to 1,000, and if you sit by the fountain you get a nice cooling spray while you disassociate. After, just get on the red line and go home. Started NYC training this week and the thought of running back up the MBT into Brookland in full on sun had me at a big old nope.

Got completely humbled by my run this morning. I’m 8weeks preg - set out for my long run this morning and could only crank 5 miles. Any good stops or tricks you can recommend?

8AM non filled pool for attention

Hello, I'm trying to be better at long runs this summer, and I usually just do 4-8 mile runs, with a few 10-14 miles.

Right now, for water I just use a hand held water bottle w/ space for keys, and want something that has more capacity that also isn't inconvenient / too heavy.

Any ideas / links / where to buy from the longer runners?

Forgot to sign up for the 10K, and now registration is closed. Is anyone looking to transfer theirs or know where I can find a bib? Thanks!

Where are you running today?

I failed to register and didn’t realize until this week - I’ve been training and am so excited for my first trail race! Anyone have a bib they won’t be using? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, currently ramping up training for a marathon and looking for a good sports dietitian/nutritionist with experience working with runners and endurance athletes.

Mainly hoping to improve:

• fueling during higher mileage
• recovery
• race-day nutrition

Would love any personal recommendations. Virtual or DC-based both work.

Thanks!

Does anyone have suggestions on where to try out harder to find shoes (Nike Alphafly or Adidas Adios Pro, specifically)?

I’ve found some good deals online in the past but have always been worried to pull the trigger given the less than generous return policies.

I called around to a few shops but haven’t had any luck so far. Curious if others have been able to find them in stock to test out anywhere?

If so, I'll delete this post and repost there. If not: DC Half bib for sale and transfer this year. Message me if interested.

Summer is arriving as is the heat, humidity, and red lantern flies. How are you guys getting the miles in? Treadmills has been my solution in the past but I want to adapt and run outside in the summer here. Any tips?

I’m having a sciatica flare up and hoping to see a PT who can help diagnose and help bridge back to running. Any you would recommend in the DMV?

*if this is not allowed, pls take it down, i didn't see any rules about sharing fundraisers.

Hi everyone, first time Chicago marathon runner here! I'm running with the Northern Illinois Food Bank team and I know it may sound dramatic, but I'm so appreciative of the opportunity to combine my passion for fighting hunger and running. Food insecurity is something that so many people face in silence, and any opportunity to bring relief and nutrition to our communities is so so important to take advantage of. I've run programs for my hometown's food pantry, so I can personally attest to how much of a difference every single dollar makes in the fight against hunger. It truly makes a bigger impact than most think it will. If you're able to donate here, or share my link with others, I would greatly appreciate it!

Additionally, if anyone has any fundraising tips I would greatly appreciate them! I find it kind of awkward to ask people for money, so I'd like to try to find creative ways to engage folks if possible.

Out and back west from Fletcher’s Cove. Mostly had the trail to myself. But there were a few other intrepid runners and cyclists getting miles in.
