RUN INTO SPRING HOME
Run Into Spring
2007
(RITS)
A 10 Mile Training Program
  • This is a training program sponsored by GW Road Runners Club. Every year, we gather anyone and everyone interested in training for the Cherry Blossom 10 miler which will be held on April 1, 2007. We start our training in early January and run into spring all the way until April 1. We meet weekly on Saturday mornings for the group long runs. If you are interested in joining us this year, follow the steps below:
  • Step 1:
    Register for the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 miler online on the morning of December 11. All details are on the Cherry Blossom website at http://www.cherryblossom.org.
  • Step 2:
    Contact Myrna Snider at myrnasn@yahoo.com with your email address so that she can add you to the email listserve. The email listserve will be the main communication for the program this year, so be sure to get on it in order to find out all the latest details about the program, and weekly run info.
  • Step 3:
    Meet with us beginning on January 6 at 8:15am for our first training run!
  • New Location: 23rd and G street NW in a GW building called Ivory Tower. There is a food court on the lower level, and this is where we will meet for our weekly runs. It provides the perfect post run social location, with Dunkin Donuts right there to satisfy your post run hunger! The entrance to the Ivory Tower Food Court is right on the corner, and right next to Potbelly's Sandwich Shop. There are bathrooms, but no lockers, so please leave all valuables at home or in your car.
  • The program is free this year, but we ask that you fill out our waiver, as running is not a risk-free activity. We will have copies of the waiver that you can fill out before a run (please arrive early to do this), or you may complete this form by clicking on the link here, and submitting to one of the coordinators on a Saturday run. We will use these waivers to complete our official roster. If you are not on the roster, then we can not have you officially run with our group. If you cannot open the waiver online, please fill out a waiver at your first run.
  • All ages, paces, and running abilities welcome!
