Please note: Depending on biking interest, we may need to add a second biking group after everyone runs. This mean more skilled/experienced bikers will bike after running as opposed to biking prior to running.

Happy birthday to DC Road Runners! Come out and celebrate the Club's 65th birthday with our annual Jascourt 4 Miler. Dress up in your festive running gear for your 4 mile race through the beautiful Belle Haven Park. After the race, we'll celebrate with birthday cake and party favors (i.e. our awards.)  Why is this race named after Hugh Jascourt?

He did most of the legwork for setting up and directing races in the early years and created the Snowball and Bunion Derby series as well as the Run for Your Life program.. In addition to overall  winners (1, 2, 3) and master's winners, we will offer awards 3-deep, male and female in 10-year age groups. This event is part of the DCRRC's Bunion Derby Series; for more information/rules, visit the race series rules page. Race Director(s):  Ida and Bob Draim

The swim takes place in Waynewood's 25 meter pool. The Waynewood bike course is the least complicated with a one way bike loop repeated the appropriate number of times for each age group. With a few small inclines building up to a nice decent to transition or the start of another loop. The run is fast and flat.

The swim takes place in the Riverside Gardens 25 meter pool. The Riverside Gardens course may be the fastest and flattest course in our series. The bike course does have seven turns (one turnaround) per loop, so it is a bit more technical than the Stratford course. The run is an out and back on Buckboard sidewalk.
