The Ashburn Area Running Club is a non-profit running club for the greater Ashburn area – whether you’re close by in Ashburn, or in the wider vicinity, all are welcome. The goal is eventually to offer programs of all types for runners and walkers in the area. We hope that you will join the group and not only support its events and participate in its programs, but find an area that interests you (membership, training programs, social events, races, etc.) and get involved. Some of you may already belong to an existing area running club, but we’d love to have you join this group as well – most of the major clubs in the area started with a few excited people, and it’s great to have lots of options available! The cost of joining the group is $25 per individual or $40/household annually. These fees enable us to offer various training programs (and get the very important insurance necessary to hold them in public places like HS tracks), register with the Road Runners Clubs of America, hold occasional social events, etc. Potomac River Running Store sponsors and supports the Ashburn Area Running Club and its members with a 10% discount – once you’ve joined the Club, just mention that you are a member when you are checking out to receive this benefit. The Store will also sell Club t-shirts and other apparel as it is developed. ANNOUNCEMENTS TO NOTE: Saturday Morning Run, 11/22 at 7:30 AM at Parlows. There are also a few area 5Ks (in Belmont and at Ida Lee) for those interested in an off-road race (both are somewhat cross country.) If you race, consider meeting folks on Sunday for a longer run (message board usually indicates where people will go!:) Marathon Training for Spring Marathon Are you planning on the National Marathon, Shamrock Marathon, Frederick Marathon, Boston, or another spring race? We'll put together a loose training schedule for anyone interested and then folks can train together. Please Email Us at president@runashburn.org if you are interested. Let us know the race you're planning and your goal. Fall Party at Liz Camire's Liz is hosting an end of fall party for all AARCers, family, and friends (have people in town for Thanksgiving?
