What is on the horizon for Running Rob!
http://www.dogfish.com/dogfishdash --Rehoboth, DE. Dogfish Head Brewery hosting the 5th Annual Dogfish Dash! Looks like a really fun race. Capped at 1500 runners, the race seems to have a really great atmosphere. Definitely looking forward to running this race on 9/26/2010.
http://www.baa.org/HalfMarathon/Default.asp --Boston, MA. SUPER EXCITED to be involved with this race. After initially getting locked out at registration the BAA folks gave me a waiver to register. This race, has a great course, great atmosphere and raises money for two great charities - The Dana Farber Cancer Institute, and The Jimmy Fund.
http://www.obxmarathon.com/Top_Nav/outerbanksmarathon/fpraces_courseinfo.htm --Kitty Hawk, NC. Looking forward to getting down to North Carolina in November! Should be slightly warmer that NOVA. The 13.1 mile course takes you past the airfield where the Wright Brothers first took flight! I can't wait to wander around the city after the race!
http://www.odmarathon.org/TenMileInfo.cfm --Cape May, NJ. Wow...You'd figure I would have done NJ a long time ago, but alas, I never got around to running anything really long in NJ. This is another great Beach run, not too expensive, near some really great restaurant for pre-race dinners, and for post race gluttonyJ
http://www.bsim.org/The_Twenty-Sixth_Presentation.htm -- Monterey, CA. This one is going to be beautiful. I have no intentions of racing through this course. I want to take in all that this course has to offer, and having never been to the west coast and seen the Pacific Ocean, that will be everything! I also can't wait to try out some local dinning establishment.
States already complete- Philly Half Marathon --Philadelphia, PA; Cherry blossom 10 miler -Washington, DC; Baltimore Half Marathon -Baltimore, MD; 26.2 With Donna Breast Cancer Marathon - Jacksonville, FL; Army Ten Miler --Arlington, VA; Country Music Half Marathon -Nashville, TN.
If anyone knows of any great races, I am always looking for recommendations. I am looking for races that aren't always the BIG races, but still have great community, and enviroment.
Eat, Run, Sleep...
