Annual Airport Run
Congratulations to the 21 intrepid runners who ventured to Reagan National Airport in the predawn hours of Sunday, October 5th for the annual Airport Run! 16 of them reported completing the entire 22 mile distance back to the Wiehle Commuter Lot in Reston with times ranging from 3:09 to 5 hours, and the others enjoyed a shorter run on portions of the same route. A sincere note of appreciation to Kevin R., Gordon M., Amy B., and Scott A. for driving runners to the airport and to Gordon for putting out water and nutrition on the return route!
