This will probably be the last week before we move to a field with lights for the weekdays. It will still be chilly this evening. Come for a short run before the sun sets.
Saturday touch on the tidal basin 9:30am
AKA Wallenberg field. Brace yourselves, temps are going to drop overnight and be in the mid 50s tomorrow morning with a light breeze. The sun should be shining so it will be a great day for touch.
Wednesday on WW2 memorial side of Washington monument 5:30
It’s still soggy and drizzly out, although should be mostly clear by this evening. Also didn’t warm up as much as anticipated, but still warmer than Monday. Get out your winter gear and come for a run. Sun is setting faster and faster so get out early to get your run in.
Monday touch is still on. 5:30 on WW2 side of Washington monument
Looks like a continued drizzle through the evening, and a little chilly, but nothing to slow us down. Bring an extra layer and something waterproof for after and it’ll be fine. We can still have some fun and get some exercise.
Monday is a Maybe
Weather reports are conflicted on whether there will be rain. It will be chilly with a strong breeze, but if it looks like the rain will hold off or be very light we’ll play.
I’ll give it until about 3:30 to make the final call. If we play it will be between Washington monument and WW2 memorial at 5:30pm.
Saturday touch on WW2 side of Washington monument 9:30am
Well it looks like Hurricane Ian is breaking up. There should be a fair amount of rain overnight, but only 50% chance of light rain tomorrow. It will still be chilly and windy, but the weather forecast isn’t adverse enough to stop us from getting a fun run in. Be ready to get a little wet and bundle up for a preview of winter.
Tidal basin will be soaked, so to avoid tearing it up (plus the rangers will kick us off anyway) we’ll play between WW2 memorial and Washington monument. Map below

Touch is on the mall 5:30pm near Smithsonian metro
Weather still cool. No rain until the weekend.
Monday touch on the tidal basin 5:30pm
Note the updated time 5:30. We’re moving back to the normal time since we have limited daylight for the next few weeks. Weather will be on the cooler side.
Saturday touch is on the tidal basin 9:30am
Weather took a quick turn toward fall. It’s going to be chilly in the morning with temps not reaching 70 until after noon.
Wednesday touch is on the mall. 5:45pm near Smithsonian metro
Another warm clear day. It’s time to get in the habit of arriving early to do stretching or whatever is needed to be ready to run on by 5:45 (and 5:30 starting next week). As the days continue to get shorter, the sooner we start, the more time we have to play.
