Begun in 2006, WUS is a collection of trail runners who meet up to run DC trails at night, eat pizza and drink beer.  Well, since everyone went paleo-crazed, pizza is no longer mandatory (but encouraged).  WUS has a couple policies worth mentioning:
(a) What is the definition of a WUS?
— A WUS is someone who participates in a WUS event. Â Once a WUS, always a WUS.
(b) What are the rules of WUS?
— Don’t get arrested. Â Or shot. Â (Especially during Rock Creek Park deer management sharp-shooting season.)
— What is said at WUS, stays at WUS.
— For the purposes of registration for competitive events (such as DROC), a runner may register with the gender with which the runner identifies.
FAQ:
- What if someone doesn’t identify with either the male or female gender?
- It is at the discretion of the RD to create an additional category.
- Can you be kicked out of WUS?
- Not officially (see the ‘Once a WUS, always a WUS above’). Â However, one may lose WUSsing privileges for violation of WUS rules, illegal activities, and other transgressions [e.g., use of performance-enhancing drugs, violation of scientific ethics laws regarding informed consent of research subjects, stalking Joey].
- When are we getting new WUS shirts?
- 2016
- Can anyone post on wussies.net?
- Yes. Â Create a login account. Â A site administrator will need to approve it.
- What’s the organizational structure of WUS? Â Is there a board of directors?
- ‘Power resides where men believe it resides. Â No more and no less.’ Â Varys, Game of Thrones
