The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) is putting a temporary detour in place as part of the Long Bridge Project, the 1.8-mile rail overhaul that will eventually relieve one of the worst freight and passenger bottlenecks on the East Coast. The detour goes into effect around May 22nd and stays in place until construction wraps in 2030.
For the last 6 months, I have been building The Capital Runner, a newsletter/blog that covers the DMV running scene. It has been so much fun connecting with folks to share their run clubs, races, and running stories.
I just wanted to pop in and say thank you to everyone who has visited the site, signed up for the newsletter, or shared our content. I am genuinely blown away by the outpouring of support I have received in this project; I never in a million years expected more than a thousand people to sign up to read something I wrote.
We have exciting content planned for the year, and I look forward to sharing it with you.
Hope you have a week of great runs!
