The Club sponsors a number of training programs, including a 10K program for novice runners in the spring, a 10-Mile training program in the summer, and a marathon training program in the summer and fall. The Club sponsors weekly long runs on Saturday morning starting from the Iwo Jima Memorial in Arlington, VA. These start at 8:00 am and at 7:00 am from Memorial Day until the end of September. The Club also sponsors weekly track workouts at 7:00 pm on Wednesday evenings at the Washington-Lee High School in Arlington.
