Now Open: The Klingle Valley Trail

Saturday, June 24, 2017 saw the opening of the Klingle Valley Trail in Northwest Washington, DC. The conversion of this former commuter artery into its present state has been a long and controversial one that stretches back to 1991.  WAMU offers a fairly comprehensive overview of the various jurisdictional tensions that have surrounded this small stretch of land.

For runners, walkers, and cyclists, the completion of this trail project will (just about) seamlessly connect the Rock Creek Trail along Beach Drive with the trails at the Tregaron Conservancy, which remains one of Washington's best lesser known attractions.  Run there when you can!

June 2017 Kiprunning Sports Club Saturday Long Run Update

As usual, the summer weather in Washington, DC is getting hot and humid.

Therefore, to keep safety concerns at the forefront of our workouts, we are rolling back the start time of the Kiprunning Sports Club Saturday long run to 6:00 am.

I understand that this time is early.  However, starting at this time will ensure that we get the bulk of our weekly workouts in before the temperature rises to unhealthy levels.

As usual, we will continue to meet at Georgetown Running Company, which is located at 3401 M St. NW, Washington, DC 20007.

If you have questions about joining the Sports Club, please contact me.

Run steady, and run safely.

What Are Your Plans for 2017 Global Running Day?

June 7, 2017 is Global Running Day.  We here at Coach Kiprunning would like to know what your plans are for this day.  [Said in Joe's professor voice: "running" does not count as an answer.  Be more specific!  Use complete sentences!]

We'd love to hear from you.  Give us a sense of your plans down in the comments, or feel free to hit us up on Facebook and Twitter.

For my part, early tomorrow morning, I will complete my last Washington, DC run before a short trip to New Mexico, where I plan to do some additional running later this week--because, of course, when you are in Walter White's territory, you run.
