Reston Runners

Thank you to Reston Station for the warm welcome and highlight on the video board at a recent Saturday run! Our runners and walkers enjoyed a scenic 5mi route through Reston’s trails. A delicious breakfast and coffee was shared at Tous Les Jours.

Attention Interval Training Program participants! Tonight’s session has been canceled due to the heat advisory in effect on July 1, 2026.

Please stay cool and safe during this extreme heat wave. If you need to be outdoors for any reason, please consider some tips below:

- Drink water consistently and before you feel thirsty.
- Stay in air conditioning as much as you can.
- Move outdoor work and exercise to early morning or after dark.
- Dress for the heat with light colored, loose fitting clothing
- Take real breaks if you work outside.
- Check on neighbors, especially older adults.
- Never leave kids or pets in a parked car.
- Keep an eye on pets and walk dogs during cooler hours.

There was a large turnout for the first session of interval training at Herndon High School [HHS]. Participating athletes “enjoyed” 6 400 m repeats at 5K race pace! A sincere note of appreciation goes out to Menzies Wilson, who stepped up to lead the program this year. Registration remains open for this for this weekly track workout at Herndon High School on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-7:30pm. ITP 2026 starts June 24 and runs thru August 19 at HHS, with three additional weeks after August 19th at a location to be announced.
