Welcome to The Capital Runner!

Hey, I'm Brett, and I started The Capital Runner because I got tired of hunting through five different Facebook groups, three Instagram accounts, and two Reddit threads just to figure out where the good group runs were happening this week.

What This Is
The Capital Runner is a newsletter and site for people who run in DC.

The Newsletter:
Routes worth running with actual details beyond "it's pretty." Where to start, where the hills are, where to find bathrooms, what to watch out for.

Upcoming races and events so you don't miss registration deadlines or show up to your favorite trail on the day it's closed for a race.

Community news about running clubs, group runs, local stores, and the people making DC's running scene what it is.

Practical tips for dealing with DC's weather, traffic, tourists, and everything else that makes running here both challenging and great.

This newsletter exists to make running in DC easier and better. That's it.

Get Involved
This works better when it's a conversation, not a broadcast. If you know about a great route I haven't covered, a running group that deserves spotlight, or a race that's flying under the radar, tell me. If you have questions about running in DC or ideas for what you'd like to see in future newsletters, reach out.

I'm building this for DC's running community, which means I'm building it with you.
