The National Park Service announced the Beach Drive reconstruction project, initially planned for March 2016, will begin after Labor Day.
A 2-3 year reconstruction project will close alternating portions of the 6.2 miles of Beach Drive within Rock Creek Park, giving the road its first overhaul in in 24 years and runners carte blanche to try out the brand-new pavement in the process.

Two local distance runners will run for the U.S. team at the IAAF World U20 Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland July 19-24.
Diego Zarate, a Northwest High School alumnus now running at Virginia Tech, won the 1,500 meters at the U.S. junior championships in 3:47.53 over Kentucky’s Mohammed Kendall’s 3:48. Zarate has run 3:44.50 for the 1,500 meters. Georgetown’s Spencer Brown was fifth in 3:52.69.
Franklin Field looked a lot different when Arlington’s Kerri Gallagher crossed the finish line June 25.
The stadium in Philadelphia was nearly empty. She saw two women finish ahead of her. It sure wasn’t the Penn Relays.
It wasn’t a bad showing. He had placed fourth at the inaugural U.S. 12k championships, the culmination of the 2013 American professional road racing circuit.
Kate Murphy knows she can run faster in the 1,500 meters, she just needs competition.
She’ll finally get it July 7, when she races the first round of the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Team Trials in Eugene, Ore. She’s one of two high school students to qualify and currently has the 17th fastest seed time.
Matt Rodjom knows the paved paths along busy roads in Fairfax so well that he could run Braddock Road with his eyes closed.
Not that it would be much different, as he puts it.
Stephanie Garcia doesn’t have time for a nap, and she likes it that way.
She typically wakes up for a sunrise breakfast before her 9 a.m. practice. After a few hours of running, dynamic exercises, and hurdling drills, it is time for lunch. After lunch, Garcia seeks out a massage, a chiropractor, or physiotherapy before heading to a second practice filled with more running, a weight session or a pool workout. If there is indeed a nap in there, the 27-year-old professional runner — a steeplechaser — doesn’t mention it.
