I love the idea of virtual races. I need motivation to keep running, but racing every few weeks can get expensive and time-consuming. So, I'm running Jeff's Virtual 5K early this month, and I just discovered The Cupcake Marathon for later in the month. Two great races to keep me going though March!
The best part is that you can run these on your own time, at your own pace. You can even run the marathon over several days - that's a great way to motivate me to put in my weekly miles! Jeff, Jason and Christel have even found sponsors for their races, so you can win prizes. So, if you need a little kick in the pants to get out the door into this not-quite-spring weather, check out both of these great races!
i discovered the cupcake marathon today and i was like HOLLER!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about the Cupcake Marathon. It will be my first marathon (haha, over two weeks!)
ReplyDeletevirtual races are a good idea! I still prefer the sense of running along thousands of other runners, but you are right it gets pretty expensive pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the virtual races! Sounds like fun!!
