Northwest Running and Triathlon Calendar - November 2013 - Ugly Christmas Sweater Run!

Very small slate of races this week. The amount of Thanksgiving Day races has become so HUGE that it sucks all the races away for weeks on either side of Turkey Day. No one wants to fight the onslaught of what has become the biggest single race day of the year.

That said, there are a couple of fun races on board this week:

-First, we've got what has to be the earliest Jingle Bell Run in the entire country. Spokane's Jingle Bell Run, which takes place nearly two weeks before Thanksgiving!

-Then we have, OF COURSE, the Ugly Sweater Run! Yes, break out those hideous sweaters that Grandma sent you back in college. And wear it proudly.

-Read about that magnificent sweater in the photo right here. Look at those deer!

Let's race!

Northwest Running and Triathlon Calendar - November 2013

I have to admit, I'm not a huge fan of a lot of these new "theme" runs. You know, your colored dye runs, your mud runs, your foam runs, your neon runs, your obstacle runs...and so on and so on.

But this chocolate run thing? Yeah, I can support that. Run a race, get some chocolate.

That works for me.

Northwest Running and Triathlon Calendar - October 2013 - Halloween Races!

Hey, one of the best events in Corvallis is coming up: McDonald Forest Trail Run. This is my next race and it should be yours too. It's a great course and a fun race. Check out my race review of the 2011 race right here.

Another great choice for the week would be the ORRC Autumn Leaves Ultra 50m and 50k. Why? Well, they have perhaps the greatest swag in trail racing history: one person will have THEIR VERY OWN HONEY BUCKET ON THE COURSE!!

Yes, you heard me correctly. If you sign up early for this race, you have a chance to win your very own portable rest room on the side of the course...that no one else can use but you! Man, it's like Christmas and your birthday all wrapped up in one!

Ah yes, the Condor 25k.

Otherwise known as the exact moment my CIM plans went right in the bucket. Hey, just watch your footing and you'll be fine. It's actually a great race for a good cause.

It did get me thinking though...about my "luck" at marathons.

It's too much to go into here. It's going to be a whole new post. Come back in a bit.

If you ever wondered why they call Marathon Maniacs maniacs, this is why...

The Center of the Nation Marathon Series - Five Marathons in Five Days! All of them in the lightly populated and race-light center of our great nation. And to save time and money, three of them are within 200 miles - just fly into Rapid City, South Dakota and run three marathons in three days while never having to change hotels!

If you didn't already know, this kind of thing is put together for runners that want to run a marathon in every state in the US. Or even crazier, every state in the US in one calendar year.

Yes, runners are freaking insane.

Wow, this is a pretty extensive and impressive list for mid-September.

That's 67 total races in one weekend in the Northwest...if you're counting. Enjoy it while you can. We're definitely coming down to the wire on triathlons, and trail runs and eventually marathons will also start to slim down in the weeks ahead.

But not yet!

Northwest Running and Triathlon Calendar - August 2013

If you like to run your trail runs in the stinking hot middle of summer...well, there's a whole bunch of them to choose from right here! Seems odd to me - I'd rather do a trail run in May or September or October - but to each their own. I suppose on a few of these, they might actually be worried about snow except in the middle of summer...

Let's race!

Northwest Running and Triathlon Calendar - July 2013 - July 4th Independence Day Fourth Runs!

Well, you shouldn't have a problem finding a Fourth of July race this year - there are 36 of them - and I don't think you'll have to travel far for that half marathon either - there are 12 of them - so strap on the running shoes and go!

Of course, if you're really adventurous, the most absolutely insane thing to do over the Independence Day weekend would be to sign up for all the FIRECRACKER QUADZILLA!!!

Yes, you can sign up for four marathons in four days! Or if you're some kind of Nancy-boy, you can sign up for four half marathons in four days!

Truly insane.
