Potomac River Run Marathon 1/21/2007 News

This is our first e-newsletter of 2007; we'll keep you up-to-date virtually throughout the season.

Currently, we have 220 signed up. Our permit limit is 300, so we expect to fill before the end of January. If you have running friends who want to join you in the marathon or half, please let them know they can still sign up until we close entries. See www.pvtc.org/marathon for full information

Our "EldorWest" marathon training program that started in November moves into "second session" this weekend with a long run on Saturday, January 20, at 9 am, on our course, starting from Belle Haven Park and heading south to Riverside Park and back. The next run on January 27 is 9 am, at Dunn Loring Metro Station. See www.marathoncharitypartners.org/training/ for full information and future runs.

Come test out our course and meet our coach Jim Kreutel, and please consider joining our program.

If you want to sign up for the remaining 14 weeks of the session, it's $40 for ACF members, $50 for non-members. We will send a $10 "signing bonus" gift certificate from Georgetown Running Company to the next 10 people who sign up for either the training program or for the May 6 Potomac River Run Marathon or Half Marathon.

If you're coming for the marathon from out of town -- or you just want a nice place to stay the night before the marathon, please consider our host hotel, Courtyard by Marriott, 2700 Eisenhower Avenue.
