It had been a while since I had added a new loop, so to celebrate the return of reasonable hours for the National Arboretum, there is now a 10k segment in there, mostly free of car traffic.
The loop follows the outer loop, going clockwise, with a trip up to Mount Hamilton (counterclockwise around the top loop), and then a smaller interior loop. You can follow the path of the loop, which is a few steps over 10k, here. The start is the R Street exit sign and the finish the cross street on the road leading to the out-of-use gate. It’s really easier to follow the map, but it makes sense when you’re in there. If people are interested, I will add chalk markings.
Pro runners Sean McGorty (Chantilly) and Emily Infeld (Georgetown) have some things to say. William and Mary AD who cut men’s track resigns.

Tristan Forsythe didn’t like what he was reading.
It wasn’t that there wasn’t enough writing about running out there, it just didn’t speak to him in a voice he recognized.
