Rain

Clarendon Day looks like a washout.

  The 5K/10K races will not be affected. As a cyclist who often rides during rainy weather, in my experience, runners do not care about the weather! Even if it were below freezing outside with ice on the ground, they would still be there (with ice skates on if necessary)!

  30% chance of rain with scattered thunderstorms in the forecast. Doesn’t sound so bad to me. I plan to be there.

  It’d be nicer with sunny sky’s but as long as the bands are playing, Ill be there.

Is Chaain Brridge closed this weekend? The signs are up in DC.

  According to the sign on Glebe Road just past the intersection with Williamsburg Blvd., Chain Bridge closes tonight after the rush until (I think) 5 a.m. on Monday morning.
  
  Have a good weekend —

    Chain Bridge is definitely closed. I found out the hard way in a cab last night and had to U-Turn and cross at Key Bridge. Nice fare as a result.
    
    I had bookmarked the ArlNow link to the DC DOT website listing the closure dates, and checked before leaving via cab last night, but of course DC DOT had not updated the page. Thanks for that.

Wait a second, Clarendon is closed to vehicles ALL DAY for two events? And which one lasts until 8 p.m.?

Kirby Road at Old Dominion will be closed briefly around 9 a.m. Saturday for the Run with the Warriors 5K, just over the Arlington/McLean boundary line.

Clarendon Day was better than the past.. would like to see more – looks like on the right track. Do wish we had fewer DC businesses and more Arllington businesses.
