Runs
In addition to our races and running events, the VHTRC is associated with a number of unofficial training runs. These runs require no sign-up, offer no guarantees, and no one is officially in charge. But there will surely be a number of club members there.
Weekly training runs
Sundays in the Park
Every Sunday at 8:00 am, Rock Creek Park
Explore the trails of Rock Creek Park on these low-key runs. We leave at 8:00 am from either Peirce Mill or Theodore Roosevelt Island and the runs are roughly 7–10 miles long (see the schedule). No sign-up required.
Wednesday “Wolfpack” Runs
Every Wednesday at 6:00 pm, Great Falls Park
Every Wednesday at 6:00 pm the VHTRC, in partnership with DC Capital Striders, leads a trail run in Great Falls National Park.
Upcoming training runs
Vicki’s Death March
November 25, 2022
25.3 miles
Nethers, VA
Often referred to as “Shenandoah’s National Park’s greatest hits,” this 25-mile loop’s highlights include White Oak Canyon, Hawksbill, Stony Man, all connected by beautiful ridge running on the Appalachian Trail.
Fun runs are back
Please follow current CDC guidelines, which stipulate that fully vaccinated people may freely participate in outdoor activities; unvaccinated people should wear a mask around others and practice social distancing. This will be on the honor system.
