This week’s Tuesday’s on the Run Linkup asks about race schedules.
So far I haven’t done much this year beyond a 10-miler and a few triathlons. That’s all going to change very soon. Here’s how the rest of the year looks:
This is my sweaty self after Fort2Base last year. Nice medal, yes?
August 23: Fort2Base Nautical 10 miler. This will be my third time running this. Always hot, but a pretty, shaded course (and one mongo hill) and great post-race swag.
Labor Day weekend: This spot is begging for a half marathon, but I haven’t committed to anything just yet. With so much going on in October, I may just lay low.
October is kind of a Where in the world is Marcia? month with 6 races in 3 different states and one out of the country.
October 4: Twin Cities Marathon
October 17: Run 10 Feed 10 10k, Chicago. I’m excited to be an Ambassador for this race for a very worthy cause.
October 18: Rock n Roll St. Louis Half
October 24-25: Rock n Roll Vancouver 10k and Half
November 14-15: Rock n Roll Vegas 5k and Half
Remember code Teamarcia saves you $15 off Rock n Roll Races, excluding Vegas.
…last but not least, this one kind of blows my mind. I’ve been invited to run this:
May 1, 2016: Great Wall Marathon. This one has always rattled around in the back of my mind. For it to become a reality is amazing.
What’s on your race schedule? Do you tend to repeat races or are you a “one and done” type?
I’m Linking up with Erika, Patty and April for Tuesdays on the Run.
Wow, I’m sure the Great Wall Marathon will be an unforgettable experience!
Wow. The Great Wall. That sounds incredible. Plus Vancouver won’t be exactly shabby! Rock and Roll DC in March on your radar?
Wow, that’s quite the racing schedule! And so cool that you’re doing the Great Wall marathon! Better get some hill training in..that’ll be tough!
Holy awesomeness! What a fun schedule coming up for you! Great Wall Marathon, that is totally a bucket list race. So excited for you! I can’t wait to follow your adventures as my race season will be winding down about the time yours ramps up!
You’ve got a busy fall! All I’ve got is the Alpine Half in LZ in September (I still need to sign up) and Chicago in October. Now that I have that spring marathon, I want to keep my legs fresh…
China? I can’t wait to hear about this…
Wow! You are going to CHINA!!!! How exciting for you. I just finished my A race this year, so I’m not booking a lot for the second half. I will be doing the Miami Marathon in January and a 12 hour bike race in February. That should keep me busy … 😉
Those medals are huge! After RnR VA beach I don’t have any fall races planned. I can’t wait to hear about the great Wall marathon. That will be amazing!
Ooo, October is going to be fun!
I am curious to hear more about the Great Wall Marathon! Is it more training to hike, or do people actually run all those stairs? LOL
Wow you are my hero! Great Wall?! So putting that on my race bucket list. I’m training for my first Marathon in November and I’m crazy… not crazy excited, or nervous.. just crazy! hahaha I can’t wait to get hooked though. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
I’m blogging over at http://www.getfitlikethat.com.
Sounds like a great fall, but OMG! Congrats on the Great Wall Marathon. That sounds like an amazing trip!
Wow!! What a great schedule! The Great Wall China Marathon sounds amazing!! Can’t wait to hear more about it!
You are living my RnR dream with Vancouver and Las Vegas!!! I’ve heard of the Run 10K Feed 10 in the past and it sounds cool. I’m excited to learn more about it through your ambassadorship! SO COOL that you’ve been invited to the Great Wall Marathon. DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! That is a lot of racing & travel. Hope it all goes well for you!
So many seem to have the Great Wall on their bucket list. Excited to hear about all your adventures!
Wow and I was excited about Alaska – Great Wall sounds amazing!! That’s fantastic! 😮
I’ll be at Fort2Base too – I just won a bib in my running group and think I’ll take it slow as a nice recovery run after the marathon!
You were invited to run the Great Wall of China Marathon!?!?! That is AMAZING!!!!! That one is on my bucket list. I can’t wait to hear about it! Congrats!
See you in MN!! 🙂
Wow! Some schedule. Can’t wait to read about your adventures!
I definitely have some favorite races I try to run annually! Bucktown 5K (I used to live a block from the start!), and the Madison Mini Marathon are two that come to mind immediately!
Wow China! Very cool! I have a full race schedule through next April! Yes, one a month starting in September, except March but I’m sure I’ll find something. Several are repeat races but I’m wanting to do some different ones. Jazz will be different and the RnR Nashville will be new as well. The major race coming up will be the WDW Marathon! Eeeek! We’ll see when it’s all said and done!
Looks like a great fall ahead. And wow, Great Wall??! I’m so envious, that’s going to be an incredible experience!
The Great Wall is AH_MAZING. And terrifying. I googled videos once and kept saying nope, nope and nope. lol But I’m a big wussy. Have a great time!
I did RnR Van last year and it was awesome!
I’m also running RnR STL this year (5k and the half) so maybe I’ll see you there! 🙂
CHINA!! omg, how amazing!! Your schedule looks so fun!! I really want to come tag along with you in October 🙂
Holy smokes that is the schedule! WOW! I am a slacker I have nothing planned after the half in September! WHAT??? I need to get out my credit card!
WOWSA congrats to you!!! That will be an amazing experience. No races scheduled for me. I know I should sign up for something, but just haven’t been able to commit, yet…<3
Wow – the Great Wall Marathon! That’s amazing. One of my running friends did this and her advice to anyone thinking about it is to run stairs cause there’s lots of them. It should be a spectacular event.
Wow, great wall would be amazing!!!!!!
Sounds like a wicked race lineup!! And WOOHOO Rock ‘n Roll Vancouver!! That’s my home and I’ll be doing the Remix challenge! Hopefully we can run into one another!
Do Oak Brook Half with us on Labor Day Monday! You were invited to the Great Wall!? Awesome. You are big time 🙂
Whaaaa? The Great Wall??? That is amazing!! What a crazy, fun October and November! I can’t wait to meet you in Vegas!!
Aw congrats my dear! Such a fun race and a great organization!!
You are one busy racing mama this fall! I think you should add in one here on the E. Coast, too, just saying. ; )
I have a 12-miler coming up on Labor Day weekend, then my marathon Oct. 4, and then a 50k on Oct. 24. And then? All the wine, food, and naps!
Definitely a busy fall for you! So excited to finally meet you in Vegas 🙂 And that whole Great Wall thing just blows my mind – what an amazing experience that will be!
Great Wall Marathon? OMG Marcia that is so exciting! How do I become a part of that? I so badly want to run that one.
You’re making me want to sign up for a race, now! I think I might do a half in December, but other than that, nothing is on the horizon. Time to start planning!
Looks like a busy season ahead! And The Great Wall Marathon – wow! Now that will be a true adventure.
Oh, wow! The Great Wall marathon looks super cool. Your October looks crazy!
man you are so organized, I need to get on it. I don’t have a single race on the calendar!!
Can you pack me in your suit case for China? PLEASE. Ha! In seriousness, so excited for you. It will be such an awesome experience, and I can’t wait to read about it.
Isn’t Oak Brook Labor Day weekend?
Right now, I have a handful of races (5K, half and a double down) on the calendar, culminating in The Bourbon Chase.
HOLY AMAZING!!!!!! what an opportunity! i try not to repeat races right now but i have in the past- rnr nola and big sur were both repeats. i have hawaii, and haven’t registered but plan to do des moine 1/2, indy monumental 1/2, and annapolis 1/2
Whaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!? That’s awesome! How’d you score that? So exciting!!! (Sidenote: can you tell I’m doing some super belated blog catching-upping, haha).
