Changes to Hydration and Announcements on Sunday Morning Runs

The Club-provided start location hydration on Sunday morning runs has lately been seeing very little use.  The Board will discontinue providing hydration at the Sunday start location, as well as the Sunday Board member announcements, during the winter months of December through March, effective January 18^th, 2026.  The policy will be revisited before the month of April. Questions or comments?  Email president@restonrunners.org.

Think Spring... and Think Cherry Blossoms! 🌸

While everyone is busy digging out from the latest round of snow and ice, it’s the perfect moment to look ahead to one of the great rites of spring—the Cherry Blossom 10‑Mile Race. Reston Runners is excited to announce that we have an official team entered in the “DMV Run Club Championships.” To score, we need five runners: at least two men, two women, and one additional runner of either gender. If you successfully registered for the race, we’d love to have you on the team. There’s no cost to join—simply add yourself at the following link:
