• Summer Sprint in the Park 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run -- Congratulations to everyone!

On June 29th at Lake Fairfax Park, Reston Runners in partnership with the Fairfax County Park Authority held a 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run.  The day started with a bang for the races, and ended with a bang for evening fireworks.  While the event was done on short notice, it was well received by everyone--over 70 participants had a great time.  Outstanding support was provided by the Reston Runners Finish Line Services Team, and a host of other volunteers from the club and friends.  It is also noteworthy that the majority of runners came from our very popular Reston Runners Youth In Motion (YIM) program.  The 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run were truly family events.  See the results: Summer Spring in the Park 5K All Results; and Summer Spring in the Park 5K Awards.  The results of the 1 Mile Fun Run were not recorded.  Also, photos  are available at Summer Sprint in the Park Photos.

• Tuesday and Thursday Mornings DIY Meet-Up Runs/Walks

There has been a lot of discussion to understand and properly document the Tuesday and Thursday morning runs/walks.  This is an energetic group who regularly meet at the McDonald’s parking lot off Wiehle Ave near Sunset Hills. Distance includes 3, 4, and 5 mile run or walk and meet up is at 6 a.m., 7 a.m., or 8 a.m. Most join at 8 a.m. sharp. It doesn't matter what time you join, or what pace you run—everyone enjoys the company, and of course the group welcomes everyone. After each run/walk, many gather for breakfast and good conversation.
