Mr. Ruiz will take registered Mid-Year Meeting attendees who would like to participate on a (light and slow) run that will stop at the Jefferson, FDR, MLK, Lincoln, WWII and Washington Monuments. Expect a leadership highlight at each monument, unique to each person and its context in history.

DIRECTIONS: From the metro stop at Crystal City (at the event hotel) take the Blue Line to the Smithsonian stop. The group will meet at the corner of 12th Street SW and Independence Avenue (map).
