Race Shopping Dilemna

So the juggling of my race calendar continues….

I have been anxiously waiting for Rock ‘n’ Roll to announce the date of #RnRPhilly, and this happened…..

And I was all “Yay sign me up!”….then I realized that this puts #RnRPhilly one week before #RnRSavannah….gah!

I was so looking forward to running both of these races, but running them on back-to-back weekends is not an option. So now what?

I’ve gone back to staring at the R’n’R website to figure out where I’m going to get my #RocknBlog groove on – and the list of potential races is long:

In September — Virginia Beach and Montreal

In October — Denver (how bad is the altitude?) and Philly

In November — Savannah and Las Vegas (racing at night?)

In December — San Antonio

TBD — Brooklyn

Decisions… decisions – Run Philly or Savannah? Consider running the Strip at Night?And, am I crazy to even consider putting Chicago in July on the list?!?

Any words of advice? Have you run any of these races?

  2. I think the Vega at night would be a fun experience…one of those do it once kind of things 🙂

    I only ran RnR Providence 🙁 Miss it.

  3. Such great locations to choose from! I would love to try a race out west like Denver, but yes, the altitude has always worried me. You go do it and let us all know how that works out, ok? ; )

  4. This threw me a curveball too. I haven’t officially signed up for RnR Nashville yet. I think Vegas is for sure, Savannah, St Louis….I could run Philly but being gone over Halloween would suck.
    The altitude in Denver is tough but doable. They have a new, HILLIER course though that is a deal breaker for me. I can’t do hills AND altitude. Ha!

    • Hill + Altitude = a big no! I’m starting to like the idea of Vegas. If I do Philly I’d have to fly out right after to try to get home before trick or treating…this may all come down to a coin flip 🙂

  5. I have heard great things about Vegas!! Also, I think Savannah would be pretty sweet too. I say – go Vegas!

  6. I’m with you! I was hoping to do this one but it’s the week after Marine Corp Marathon, not sure I will be able to swing that. I usually don’t want to think about running for several weeks after a marathon!

  7. I’ve done 10 milers on back-to-back weekends. If you pick one to race and one for fun, it could work. Otherwise, I heard good things about Savannah. Chicago in July and even Va. Beach in September can be too hot for me. Vegas would be cool. At least you can’t go wrong no matter what you decide!
