CHRC Run Routes - Week of January 26

[Beta Jajko]

Capitol Hill Running Club Friends,

Let it snow! The fresh blanket outside looks beautiful, though it does make footing a bit tricky. We hope winter won’t stop us from getting a few miles in—but you’re the judge. If you decide to take a short break from running in these conditions, that’s perfectly fine. If you head out, make sure you’re prepared—layers and trail running shoes can help.

This week’s routes were chosen with slippery conditions in mind and taking advantage of the areas which most likely have been cleared after the storm. That said, we won’t know for sure until we’re out there, so last‑minute adjustments may be needed. Thanks for your flexibility!

We hope to see you out there!
