Races

NYRR and local races I want to hit in 2023

I'm pretty sure I won't run most of these, but it's nice to see runs lined up. Makes me feel like an athlete. Whatever it takes, you know?

  • Virtual NYRR Global Running Day 5K (June) — I'm planning on walking most of it. This will help get the "I gotta race NOW" bug out of my system 🤞
  • Michael's Cause 5K (September) — My first real 5K
  • Virtual NYRR Run for Thanks 5K (November)
  • Brooklyn 10K Tri City Runs (November)

NYRR and local races I want to hit in 2024

9+1 Program and 4 Out of 6

For guaranteed entry to the 2025 NYC Marathon and the half marathons.

I'm listing more than 9 here for the 9+1 program and I'll pick the ones I can do.

What I'm hoping to do is get most of it done the first half of the year so I can focus on my marathon training. And mostly the virtual challenges (so I can stay close to home) and the "easy" 5Ks.
