The Chutzpah Chanukah 8 miler was a fun event on the C&O Canal along the Potomac River in DC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Old Dominion Racing<\/a>‘s “Chutzpah Chanukah 8 miler<\/strong>” at Fletcher’s Boathouse on the Potomac River enabled joggers, walkers & racers to burn some calories before enjoying latkes & other holiday treats. This race was unusual in that there was pre-race coffee, using genuine Israeli Ethiopian Falasha coffee; a later than usual start; and, an out & back AND then different out & back course on the scenic packed sand trail. Plus, this is an unusual distance; 8 miles for the 8 nights of Chanukah, is nearly 13 Km. So runners were treated to a sunny, mild, FLAT course with the only turns being the 2 hairpin turns at each end. The challenging part of the course was knowing where and when to turn around, as there were a number of other races going on at the same time on the same trail!<\/p>\n

With an “Outdoor Challenge Series,” a “Singleton Race Series” where participants can run solo & track their accomplishments, and a number of races at fun venues, oftentimes off paved roads, Old Dominion Racing puts on some wonderful events throughout the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area. Herndon attorney Doug Landau and his wife have raced in Old Dominion events at the lovely Algonkian Park on the Virginia side of the Potomac River, as well as the C&O Canal Run in DC.<\/p>\n

The volunteers are friendly and helpful. Today’s ultimate turnaround and water stop volunteer was none other than DCRRC stalwart James Scarborough! While warming up, Landau saw his friend and retired Army officer and road racing regular Mike Cannon turn around during the Bishop’s Events 5km. They caught up after all the races, with Cannon showing off his Keller Williams running socks. Melissa Landau is a lead agent for the Keller Williams (“KW”) Reston Office, AKA “Flynn Realty,” so Lawyer Landau was envious of his friend’s footwear!<\/p>\n
