Start: 6400 Beulah Street Alexandria VA 22310 – Back of parking lot by the picnic tables
Theme : San Isidro Day – Bailemos Chotis!
Time: by 1PM on Saturday, Nov 14 through Sunday, Nov 15.
Cost: $0, BYOB but there will be a beer/limonada check during certain hours on Saturday
Trail Deets: Chulapos y Chulapas, it’s time to dance the Chotis in the streets of Madrid! Can’t get there this year? We have our own San Isidro Festival in Alexandria. Have no idea what the hare is rambling about, google “San Isidro patron saint of Madrid”, Chotis, Chulopos/as. Kudos to those that dress appropriately.
Trail will be ready by 1pm on Saturday. If you’re on trail Saturday afternoon, expect some rosquillas y limonada. Low on the shiggy meter but PI protection recommended. Runners trail 4-5 miles, Walkers 2-3 miles.
- DCH4 is still iso-hashing so show up when you please but be mindful of crowds. Virginia is not requiring mask outdoors at this point but it’s advised if in a crowded area (which will be a low chance on this trail). Bring a mask on trail just in case
Getting there:
