CHRC Run Routes - Week of March 2
Beata Jajko
Capitol Hill Running Club Friends,
It feels like spring may finally be just around the corner—perfect timing for our Saturday run this week!
If you need a little extra motivation to join us on our weekday runs, nature has something special in store: a total lunar eclipse is expected early Tuesday morning. Fingers crossed for clear skies!
And finally, if you haven’t joined the Capitol Hill Running Club Team for the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Miler, we hope you’ll still come out to cheer us on! Please mark your calendars for Sunday, April 12, starting at 7:30 a.m. It’s going to be a lot of fun!
Keep showing up! We hope to see you out there!
Beata and Bianca
