For a runner or fitness enthusiast, there’s no shorter of races or events to capture your imagination! For this week’s Fit Five Friday, I’m sharing five races and fitness experiences that are high on my bucket list.
Fit Five Friday: Five Bucket List Races and Fitness Events
Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run
The Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run in Washington, D.C., is a springtime classic that I’ve long wanted to experience. When my boys were playing lacrosse, schedules never aligned to make this race possible, but with them both in college now I’m hoping to make this race a reality.
Broad Street Run
The Broad Street Run is another 10-mile race high on my list. The course is a straight shot down Broad Street, running through the heart of Philadelphia, and is one of the most popular road races in the country. It’s a race that celebrates the spirit of Philly, and I can’t wait to be a part of it!
BolderBoulder 10K
The BolderBoulder 10K in Colorado is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community, fitness, and fun. With live music, great spectators, and a finish in the University of Colorado’s Folsom Field, this race offers an unforgettable experience. The altitude and the energy of Boulder make it a unique challenge I’m eager to take on.
NYC Half Marathon
Running through the streets of New York City is always special, and the NYC Half Marathon is no exception. The course takes you through Times Square, Central Park, and other iconic spots, all while soaking in the energy of the city. It’s a perfect way to experience NYC’s vibrant atmosphere while tackling a challenging but manageable distance.
Peloton Studios, NYC
While not a traditional race, a live class at Peloton Studios in NYC is a fitness experience I’m eager to check off my list. The energy of being in the studio with one of my favorite Peloton instructors coaching would be an awesome experience!

We agree on cherry blossom and bolder boulder. I’ve wanted to do Broad st too.
Let me know if you do nyc. I’ll come cheer you on.
I agree about Peleton. I’d want to do it live.
Maybe we can swing a meet-up and run CB or BB!
Let’s do CB together one year. I’m done with running the NYC Half but I’ll totally spectate you in it!
Yes – let’s plan on CB that would be so much fun!!
I hope you will come run Cherry Blossom! Planing on doing it again next year
That would be so fun – hopefully my legs will cooperate!
