Capitol Hill Running Club Friends,
Thank you all for joining our annual CHRC Expo! It was a fantastic time, and we hope you’re feeling inspired to join us this season—whether your goal is to run your very first marathon or simply connect with fellow runners.
This marks our last offseason week—where did the time go?! Thank you for being part of the journey and for running with us. We’re excited to pass the baton to Alex and Des, who will be leading the club starting the week of June 1.
Wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, and we hope to see you out there! 🏃♀️🏃♂️
