RESTON RUNNERS

A community of runners and

walkers of all levels and abilities

 

** Saturday Morning January 18 Location Change!  **
For safety reasons, the start location for Saturday, January 18 is moved to Lake Audubon Pool. The planned course will be marked. The 5 mile course will start at the pool parking lot.  Runners/walkers will turn right out of the lot onto Twin Branches Road. We will turn right onto Glade Road. The turnaround point will be marked at 2.5 miles. People will return the same route via Glade and Twin Branches back to the Lake Audubon Pool.    
** Please run and walk safely! **


Congratulations to all 2-Person Relay runners! 
On a frosty and blustery Saturday morning, January 4th, nine teams braved temperatures in the 20s with wind chills in the single digits.  Each team included 2 people, one car, and a self-selected route that passed through four checkpoints across north and south Reston.  Yes, many "are you crazy" comments heard, but runners shared smiles and stories at the post-race breakfast celebration.  Cheers to the 1st place team -- "Two Hardy Hokies" (Tim Smith and Andrew Gilbertson).     

 


*** HUGE congratulations to Emmett Delaney who finished the Spartan Golden Gate Trail Classic 50K!

This was Emmett’s dream race, and he has written a wonderful story about his race day experience.  The story is an emotional one that will bring many avid runners to tears.  Cheers to Emmett for achieving a lifelong goal!  Read his story here:  Coming to America -- Spartan Golden Gate Trail Classic 50K.

RESTON RUNNERS          

Reston Runners is based in Reston, Virginia and is a proud member of the Road Runners Club of America. We are one of the largest running clubs in Northern Virginia with a diverse range of athletic talent. Many new club members are training for their first 5K or 10K. Others are experienced runners who have run competitively and have completed dozens of marathons and ultramarathons. We are passionate about running (and walking) and strive to be fun and inclusive. As our name "Reston Runners" implies--we are a running club. However, we also have a very active group who prefer to walk. Our weekend events include both a run and a walk course.

Come join us for a group run on Saturday or Sunday. Become an active member to enjoy the many benefits of our community, friendship, social events, fitness tips, and opportunities to volunteer and give back.
