Now that another one of D.C.’s notoriously swampy summers is over, it’s time to enjoy lower temperatures, crisper leaves and all that fall brings. What better way to take advantage of the season than getting out and active, or maybe just enjoying sports in a socially distant way from afar? However you get moving to celebrate fall, we have something for you to enjoy alongside a crisp autumn breeze.
