Five Fall Races

September 3, 2015 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC47 Comments

Happy Friday! When we chose Five Fall Races for this theme, I did not anticipate that I’d actually be running five races within two months this fall, but what do ya know, I am! Works out perfectly for today’s theme. I’m looking forward to seeing what races you all have on your radar or calendar for this fall. Not that I’ll be adding any more but you never know… πŸ™‚ Per usual, I’m linking up with my girls Cynthia and Mar for the #Friday Five. You can read our linkup rules here. Please, please, please follow the rules! Note that if you don’t play nicely, we will delete your link. Have a wonderful weekend!

Five Fall Races

  1. Wineglass Marathon. Um, so as I was writing this, I was looking at the website and realized that the race is 30 days out. Wow. Even though I’m using this as training, that is still slightly terrifying. BUT – it should be beautiful and fun and I can’t wait. 
  2. Army Ten Miler. This is the weekend after Wineglass and so I’ll be taking it very easy. No PRs or anything – just a fun ten mile cruise through my city. 
  3. Marine Corps Marathon. This is the big one – my goal race for the fall. I’m hoping for a big PR but go big or go home, right? Hopefully when I run this one I will go big and then go home (and nap, obvi). Super excited.
  4. Richmond Half Marathon. Ahhhh – I love racing in Richmond so much. If you’ve been reading Eat Pray Run DC for awhile, then you’d know that this race is one of my favorites. I’ve only run the marathon and never the half marathon, so I’m very excited to get to experience the half this year. I’m also blogging about my training as one of the new Richmond bloggers this year – you can read more about that here. I highly recommend you come join me in Richmond in November!  
  5. Annapolis Running Classic Half Marathon. I wrote a bit about the race here. I’m so excited to run in Annapolis when the weather is cooler – it’s going to be beautiful! Use code CCREF15 to save 10% when you register! 

What’s on your fall schedule?? Will I see you at any of these races?

    Another MCM runner-whooohoooo…oh wait-let me be clear I am not running but hope to be out there cheering and supporting.
    I am going to shoot for the Army 10 miler next year. God luck in your race!

    I’ve come to the conclusion that my bucket list for races is too darned long. I really want to run Wineglass someday.

    I’d like to run Richmond again this year, but it will totally depend on what else is going on that weekend.

    Too bad I wasn’t a runner back before we had kids when I had plenty of time and money LOL.

      yeah, no kids makes it much easier to do races of my choice. however the $$$ still really adds up!

    Your half marathons all sound amazing! I wish I was still on the east coast and could run some of those. And I’m so excited about your marathons! I didn’t realize you were running two so I’m really excited for you!

    we have two of the same race weekends on our fall schedule. I am spectating MCM and will be running the 8k in Richmond. It is a girls trip and there are at least 7 of us from my running group going!

    Wow, you have a lot of racing miles coming up this fall! Be careful with your wineglass race and recovery so close to MCM. Enjoy – I’ve done MCM and Richmond (full) – great courses.

    I remember Wineglass last year just creeping so quickly after the summer. Ultimately, I was injured and couldn’t run but it’s definitely very early into the season. It looks like you have some great races lined up.

    I have always wanted to do Wineglass and MCM and have heard great things about Richmond and the Army 10 Miler. Funny enough – I have never done any of those despite running/living on the East Coast for so many years. I saw that it was 44 days to one of my races and I was sweating it, too! Good Luck!

    The fall has so many great races. I love running when the weather is cool and that autumn feeling is everywhere. I would love to do the MCM 10k since I’m not aiming for a full marathon any time soon.

    Sounds like you will be busy! I probably only have two left for the year. Still trying to squeeze in one more for December but I think I’m pushing my luck at work. Taking time off is tough since I have to work every other weekend.

    The Army Ten Miler and MCM are both on my list of races I want to run. Army I’d love to run sooner, MCM is an “eventual” as I get into doing marathons. I want to do it eventually, no matter what, even if I end up not liking the full as much as half.
