I've been lackluster on my 2013 racing plans. A combination of only having 14 states left in my 50 state quests + deciding to do Jill's 13 in 2013 has got me starting to plan for potentials. It's always a work in progress as I have a hard time planning out too far in advance..
My #1 priority is to knock out as many states as I can, then once those are semi in the books, fill in the gaps of nearby races so I can hit my 13+ for the year.
14 States I have left and possibilities I have found thus far- please comment if you know anything about the listed ones, have a better suggestion for a state, OR better yet... you want to join in on one :)
Alaska: researching as we speak...
Hawaii (saving this for my last hoorah!!)
Maine:
July 14- Shipyard Old Port- free beer & pizza at the finish- 90% of race is along the water.
August 25- Burberry Cove 1/2 - doesn't look as fun, but it does double up with NH
Maryland: *DH w/ VA
May 18- St. Michaels Running Festival
Jun 1- Zooma Annapolis Women's 1/2
Minnesota:
8/31- Women Rock MN
Montana:
3/17/13- Run The Pub (St Patrick's themed race that is all downhill and ends at a pub?!?!) Kim they also include free mugs as part of the swag!!
Nevada:- lot of options here, sorting out other races before chosing which one to do.
New Hampshire:
Aug 24 (potentially unless 2013 changes) Strides for Youth 1/2 * DH with Maine
North Dakota: *DH w/ SD
August 17 -Thunderbird 1/2 Marathon
Oklahoma:
Nov 2- Jenks 1/2 marathon
Nov 24- Route 66 1/2
South Dakota:* DH w/ ND
August 18- Leading Ladies 1/2 Marathon
Vermont:
considering the covered bridges 1/2 sold out in 14 min my next choice is:
May 18- Dandelion 1/2
June 9 (because I have nothing in June) Crowley Road race
after that I have no preference and will just choose it based on logistics and whats fit in schedule
Virginia: * DH w/ MD
May 19- Marine Corp Historic 1/2
June 1- Virginia Wine Country 1/2- wine along course? music and wine festival afterwards! post race winery tour--- this would be a weekend event if anyone wants to repeat or add Virginia to your list :)
June 2- Northface Endurance Challenge 1/2- would be double header with MD, however it sounds hard and not sure if that would go best for double headers
Wyoming:- need suggestions as I have no preference here
