      <image:title>News - Help us find the working drinking fountains across the DMV</image:title>
      <image:caption>It’s Spring, which means every runner is scoping out working water fountains along their routes. We are beginning to track operational water fountains, but we could use your help. If you spot a functioning or broken water fountain, let us know using this form or shooting me an email at newsletter@thecapitalrunner.com. I will launch our crowdsourced map later this week once we have collected more data. Note: this map is pretty comprehensive, but it isn’t clear when some of these markers were updated.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Running to Every Metro Terminus Showed This DC Runner a City He Didn't Know</image:title>
      <image:caption>Largo and New Carrollton weren't much better for trails, but Harrison navigated surface roads, including a late-night loop past Northwest Stadium, home to the Washington Commanders, empty and lit up. He described it as "a great liminal space." Southeast DC was the biggest surprise of the project. He'd spent little time east of the river before, and running to Branch Avenue opened up parts of the city he hadn't seen. He spotted murals and street art, and the Marvin Gaye Trail out toward Largo caught him off guard. "I was like, this is a thing? That was really cool." He knocked out eight of the 10 stations by December, then a winter snowstorm put things on pause. Once the trails cleared, he finished the final two. Ashburn, at 34 miles, he called "basically an unsupported 50K." "There was just such a sense of adventure to it," he said.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Find the Best Running Routes in DC, Maryland, and Virginia - The DC side of the tool covers twelve routes. The National Mall Loop is a 4.5-mile circuit on gravel and pavement, with restrooms at the major monuments and water available at multiple points. Rock Creek Park handles longer efforts and trail running, with enough tree cover to make summer miles bearable. East Potomac Park at Hains Point is one of the flattest stretches in the city, which makes it useful for tempo work and speed sessions. Theodore Roosevelt Island sits just off the Rosslyn waterfront and gives you a genuine trail run without leaving the city limits. The Anacostia Riverwalk Trail runs along the eastern waterfront and connects Yards Park, Navy Yard, and Anacostia Park. Rounding out the DC options are Capitol Hill Loop, Georgetown Waterfront, Fort Circle Trail, the National Arboretum, Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, and the Navy Yard area around Yards Park.</image:title>

      <image:title>News - Find the Best Running Routes in DC, Maryland, and Virginia - Seven Virginia routes are in the tool.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Mount Vernon Trail runs 18.5 miles along the Virginia side of the Potomac, from Theodore Roosevelt Island south to George Washington's estate in Mount Vernon. It's paved, well-lit, and has new water fountains installed as part of the trail's recent renovation. The Custis Trail connects Arlington to the W&amp;OD and adds elevation that's hard to find elsewhere in the region. The Washington and Old Dominion Trail stretches 45 miles into Loudoun County and is the go-to for Northern Virginia runners who need long run mileage without doubling back. Four Mile Run is a flat, paved path through Arlington that works well for tempo efforts. Great Falls Park in McLean puts you on rugged terrain above the Potomac gorge. The Burke Lake Loop in Fairfax County is a 4.7-mile wooded circuit around the reservoir, good for easy and recovery runs. The Potomac Heritage Trail rounds out the Virginia options with a more technical, rooted surface along the river.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Find the Best Running Routes in DC, Maryland, and Virginia - Five Maryland routes round out the tool.</image:title>
      <image:caption>The C&amp;O Canal Towpath runs 184.5 miles from Georgetown to Cumberland, but most DC-area runners use the stretch between Georgetown and Great Falls, about 14 miles of flat, crushed stone. The Capital Crescent Trail connects Georgetown to Silver Spring on a smooth, paved surface and is one of the most popular running corridors in the region. Sligo Creek Trail in Montgomery County is a quieter option, 10.2 miles of paved trail through a wooded stream valley that sees far less traffic than most regional paths. Greenbelt Park in Prince George's County has dirt paths through a forest that draws a fraction of the crowds you'll find on the Capital Crescent. Lake Artemesia in College Park is a 1.35-mile paved loop around a man-made lake, best used as a warmup, cooldown, or an add-on to a longer run via the Anacostia Tributary Trail System.</image:caption>
