AT H&F Runners: 2010 race schedules

[Megatomic]

Hey guys and gals, have you set your race schedules for 2010 yet? Here's what I have so far:

2/27/10 - Medved Winter Challenge - 5k snowshoe race

5/2/10 - Medved Madness - 15 mile trail race

7/3/10 - Finger Lakes Fifties - 50 mile trail race

9/18,19/10 - Virgil Crest Ultras - pacing another runner overnight in the 100 mile trail race

10/9/10 - Canandaigua Lake 50 - 50 mile road race around the lake


On the maybe list:

8/29/10 - Green Lakes Endurance Run - 50K trail race

So, what have you all got?

 

[SociallyChallenged]

How much do these races cost to enter? With my recent heart valve news, I've been thinking about doing plenty of running. I would, however, have to do it competitively to keep a goal in mind. I'm clearly not gonna do 50mi races, but how much do 5ks and half marathons typically cost you? I didn't mean to jack your thread - just pickin' your brain

 

[Megatomic]

The prices really vary depending on the venue. Trail races are typically cheaper than road races and have better post race feasts/treats. For example, the Finger Lakes Fifties is $45. The Medved Winter Challenge is $15.

I can tell you this though, the big road races are EXPENSIVE.

4/11/2010 - St. Louis Half Marathon
5/2/2010 - Pittsburgh Marathon


That's all that's on tap for me so far this year

March 7, 2010: Chilly Half Marathon, Burlington Ontario
March 28, 2010: Around the Bay 30k, Hamilton Ontario
May 30, 2010: Ottawa Marathon, Ottawa Ontario (haven't decided yet if I'm going to try to gear up for the full or just do the half)

Then, some time in September or October, I'll do either the Scotiabank or Goodlife Toronto runs, either half or full, not sure yet. There will also be various 5-10k runs sprinkled here and there in Waterloo Ontario.

Nice topic, btw. I'm interested to see if anyone here is running in any of the same ones as me

Fricking Las Vegas R&R is 135 and the Disney events are 150.

[Megatomic]

Scorch, are you considering the Medved Madness this year? I see you are wide open in that time period.

9 Jan 2010 - Walt Disney World Half Marathon - Done
10 Jan 2010 - Walt Disney World Marathon - Done
17 Jan 2010 - PF Chang's R&R AZ - Done
30 Jan 2010 - Desert Classic Half Marathon
14 Feb 2010 - IMS Arizona Marathon
6 Mar 2010 - Run for Ryan House Half Marathon
20 Mar 2010 - Mesquite Canyon 50K - Possibly scratched due to budget.
Summer Interlude
September 2010 - Disney Land Half Marathon - *Crosses fingers* I really want to do this one
October 2010 - Cactus ChaCha 7mi Trail Run
November 2010 - Just Another Mad Dog 50K
Thanksgiving 2010 - ARR Thankgiving Day Classic 10M
December 2010 - Las Vegas R&R Half Marathon
December 2010 - ARR Desert Classic 30K

In 2011, I want to try to R&R Denver, San Diego, San Jose, New Orleans, PF Chang's, and Vegas, but the budget may restrict that to just Chang's and Vegas. Traveling for major events like these is extremely pricey.

I don't think so. It's only a month after Boston and I don't think I'll be up to 15 miles by then. If I am, I will definitely do it, but I'm not going to lock myself into anything this year. Ashlie wants to do it again, so I'll be there and see you guys regardless!

 

[InflatableBuddha]

I'll be making some decisions in the next couple of days, and registering, but this is the plan so far.

7 March 2010 - Harry's Spring Run-off 8k (?)
2 May 2010 - BMO Vancouver Marathon
10 October 2010 - Portland Marathon
December 2010 - Las Vegas R&R Half Marathon

Excellent. Maybe you and some buds could do the relay? 5 miles should be doable eh?

 

[SWScorch]

Hmm, that is a good idea. I forgot they had a relay. I'll probably be up to 10 miles by then so maybe I can do 2 legs and get a friend to do just one. That could be fun!

 

[Pantlegz]

I'm thinking about doing a few 5k's, nothing big just a little change from weight lifting.

 

[RagingBITCH]

Don't get to post much here anymore, but here's the plan:

2/27 - Cowtown half marathon
3/6 - RHS 5K
3/14 - RNR half marathon (not raced, pacing a friend)
4/11 - Big D half marathon (tune-up for OKC full, not raced)
4/25 - OKC full marathon

Speedwork during the summer

Shooting to sign up for Chicago or Marine Corps in the fall

Also finally got my RRCA certification - looking forward to coaching some people and helping them out.

 

[PricklyPete]

So far all I have planned is:

University City Frosty 5 - 2/13
St. Louis Marathon - 4/11

I'm sure I'll throw a few more half marathons in there...and I'm considering another marathon in late spring/early summer (eyeing the San Diego Marathon)...but we'll see. I'm fairly off the cuff with this stuff. I regularly run 10 mile runs on the weekends...so doing a half marathon spontaneously is fairly typical for me. I'm moving my mileage up for the marathon in St. Louis right now...hoping to get a PR this time around.

 

[AeroEngy]

5/2 - Frederick, Maryland Running festival - half marathon.

This is my first half marathon. I didn't really get into running until last year. The 2009 Army Ten Miler in DC was my first race ever and I had a lot of fun.

 

[zerocool1]

Shamrock Shuffle-Chicago 8k March 2010
13.1 Series Race in Chicago June 2010
Elmhurst 4 on the 4th (tentative) July 2010
Waterfall Glen - Darien IL- July 2010
Rock n Roll Half-Chicago August 2010

This is what I have so far.

[zebano]

I ran "freezefest" today. A 5k and damn was it cold at the start. I couldn't breath for about the first mile but I felt really good at the end. I guess it's time to check the calendar and see what other runs are available this year.

 

[InflatableBuddha]

Update:

Ended up not doing the Spring Run-Off 8k a couple weeks ago, in favour of training through.

Registered for the Spring Ahead 10k on April 11th as a tune-up for my marathon on May 2. http://www.springahead.org/2701/index.html
