Good Afternoon everyone,
Just a quick heads-up that tomorrow’s run will start next to the American Indian Museum instead of the usual location. The entrance to the Maryland Ave parking lot has been closed since last night due to preparations for the Independence Day celebrations.
Thanks for your flexibility!
Thanks,
Harris and Calvin

Good evening all, and Happy Fourth!
Just a quick reminder that Saturday’s run will start at 6:30 AM at the Iwo Jima Memorial — not 7:00 AM. Apologies for any earlier confusion!
Thanks,
Harris & Calvin
