Ever run Thoedore Roosevelt Island?

I was staying at the Hotel Palomar in beautiful downtown Roslyn and look a look at the running map that the hotel had at the front desk.  The combination of a head cold and an early morning symposium at George Mason prevented me from going out on Thursday morning but I realized that I have never run on Teddy Roosevelt Island in the middle of the Potomac.  Run by it on both sides of the river but never focused on the fact that you can go on it and around it.  Is there anything there?  Should it be part of the course for the Race for Competition given his trust busting fame?

  1. Great trails on that island. Nice run down the Mt. vernon trail, across the foot bridge, and around the island. It might make a good race route, if we had course marshals and good markings. Haven't run there in years, but it used to be part of my weekend long runs from the office when working at DOJ downtown.
