Marathons?

I searched for marathons and only found this thread. I was wondering if there's anybody here that runs marathons and knows where I could search for marathons in the fall of 2010.

I haven't had much luck on RunnersWorld or Active.com.

I'm running the Mercedes 1/2 Marathon here in Birmingham in February, but I'd like to continue my training and run a full marathon next. If I wait for the same race in Birmingham again it'll be February 2011 before I run one, so I'm expanding my search.

I know there is one in Huntsville, AL in November 2010, which isn't terrible, but I was hoping to find one in September or October of 2010. Anybody in AL, GA, north FL, MS or TN know of a full marathon in that timeframe?

 

try active.com

i used to search and signup there when i was running

 

lol. i barely read your entire post.

im stupid.

 

how funny. i was going to add the ironman triathlon. it's more challenging bc it's run, bike and swim. i have a friend who competes in it and trains for it all the time.

good luck!

 

I'm glad you caught that. I didn't want to be mean to somebody who was trying to help, but I wanted to point out that I'd already tried.


Thanks for posting, all. FWIW, I've made a plan to run in a few 5 & 10Ks in the upcoming months, then the Mercedes 1/2 marathon in February, then eventually the Rocket City Marathon in November of next year. (That's the one in Huntsville I mentioned in my first post.) I stopped looking for one in the summer b/c I realized how much it would suck to run 26 miles in the Alabama summer heat, so that's why nobody has scheduled one.

I put together a training calendar and I'll be putting in over 1,600 miles during the training and races! Wish me luck!

 

dang. i wish you lived in so cal or near me...i need to get my ass in shape again but have fun and good luck!

 

I know i am bringing this one back to life but there is no other thread about it.

i am starting to get into distance running, planning on doing a few 5 and 10ks when i get back home and my neighbor has been asking me to train with him for triathlons so i will be doing that when i get home also. Anyone else into distance running?

 

i'm starting to get into "running for fun"

i used to run a bunch in special tactics... but that was because i had to, not because i wanted to lol

i'm signed up for a half marathon in september and i'm doing the USMC marathon in DC this october along with a few other "miliatry" style challenge events

 

Just ran a 5k today in my VFFs. First time running a race in them and first time doing a 5k in a long long time. Finished just under 22 minutes so im not too disappointed.

 

yeah i would like to work up to those and than to full on marathons. just gotta start training.

 

Yeah they have them all over the place. Its just finding the one you want to do.

 

Matt i also looked into the USMC half marathon and its coming to Jax in october so i am going to train for that and sign up for it.

 

Just asking if anyone else is into it or if we have advice?!

 

nice man, good time. which five finger did you run it in? i have 3 different pairs of those, but i dont run in them... i'm too big of a dude and i need the cushion and support of a shoe

along with my half marathon and full marathon running i'm doing other things like the tough mudder and goruck challenge... check them out
