What 1/2 and/or marathon are you doing this fall?

[thom]

I have no idea what my goal race should be. Last fall I didn't have one and it was kind of the pits. I probably won't travel that far, but that's beside the point.

Share your race(s) and inspire us all!

{I know a lot of you are doing the H&F gathering in Kiawah so December counts too.}

[enfuego23]

I'm doing the Kiawah half and probably the Columbus half marathon.

[jchokie79]

I'm doing the Chicago Half in Sept. and the Kiawah Half in Dec.

[Susie]

I will be hoping for a half PR after a summer of 13.1s that come at the end of 70.3s.

[Deleted]

I'm signed up for Kiawah

[mrsjthompson]

I'm registered for Space Coast.

That should be the makings of a big PR! Are there many fall tris or does the season mostly end unless you live somewhere tropical?

[thom]

Things I'm considering:

-Twin Cities 10 mile or marathon
-Mankato Marathon (Minnesota)
-Half or marathon near Madison/Milwaukee where one of my sisters lives
-Monster Dash Half

[jordylee]

Chicago 13.1 in a few weeks, Quad Cities marathon in Sept. I will probably try to sneak in another half or two over the summer too, but haven't registered for them yet

[libbygrl109]

I'm doing the same one as Susie. I would like to PR, since last year did not go as expected. I'm approaching training differently this time around.

[billysgirl07]

I am doing the Harrisburg Half (as a 2 person relay) and the Tussey MountainBack (also part of a relay team). The MountainBack is a ultra marathon with the option to run as part of a 2-8 person relay team.

[mrshandy]

Potomac River Run Marathon

Not sure about a half yet, maybe Navy/Air Force Half Marathon or do the Potomac River Run one in September. It seems there really aren't that many halfs in the Fall in the DC area. Any other ones that are good?

[clseale]

Kiawah half in December, RnR Savannah full in Nov, then maybe an Oct half...but it will be really hot, and probably a last minute decision.

[G22]

Air Force Marathon in September. It will involve a trip home to see family so it will be a good time. I have no idea what to expect time wise for this race this year. I suppose I'll see how my full goes next month and then set a goal from there

[skwcm80]

I'm doing the Chicago marathon in October , and the Kiawah half in December.

[al320]

Full - mohawk hudson river
Half - a small local one, philly, kiaweh

[archaeominx]

Hershey Half in October, maybe a summer trail half in PA.

There are plenty if you are willing to travel, and M-dot HIMs are going on year-round.  But in upstate NY, we generally go Memorial Day to Labor Day, because water temp is too low much outside that range.

I know a few people from here who have done San Juan 70.3 which is in April-ish, and it seems hard to train for to me.  Your outdoor riding is hugely limited at home by daylight hours and it being freezing, you can't swim open water to practice, and you're in for a huge climate shock from your training conditions when you arrive.  

[hannahb]

My A race will be kiawah full in dec.
I'm shooting for a half in October. Probably the Gettysburg half (ran my PR there 2 years ago) and the NCR marathon as a relay in November. Those are more as tune ups for the full

[mandiespharm]

I'm considering buffalo half at the end of August. Doing wineglass half in October and will do rochester marathon relay in September with my cf box.

[labbie]

I'm doing the Wineglass Half on 10/5.
I'm really hoping to do a full again, but that won't be until next year.

[ktzmoh]

Not sure - depending on how June goes, I might run the Oakland half August 16. But I'll for sure try to get into the Nike Women's half in SF again this Fall. But my main goal is to build a solid injury free training base for my first full next year (squee!)

[bostonmichelle]

I'm doing the Michelob Boston Half Marathon with melmel48 (http://www.131marathon.com/Boston/#home) on 9/14

And the Kiawah half on 12/13

[breezy8407]

I am so jealous of Kiawah! There is no way my H would go for it even if money was no object. But I digress....

So far just Monster Dash 1/2

I don't like not knowing if I get into the TC 10 mile, but I do like that race!

[CallingAllAngels]

Myrtle Beach Mini Marathon (13.1) - October 19
Thunder Road Half Marathon - November 15
Kiawah Half Marathon - December 13

MB will be my A-race, unless it goes terribly. Then, Kiawah will be.

[cinco]

Western Maryland 1/2 Sept
Freedom's Run 1/2 Oct
MCM Oct
NCR relay (half) Nov

I would love to go for a new PR at Monster Dash, too. I ran a PR a few weeks ago on a much hillier course. One would think it would be possible!

[texassmith]

None this fall, but I'm eyeing the 3M half in Austin in January. Probably just 5Ks and 10Ks this fall.

[breezy8407]

thom have you seen this one?

www.granitemanhalfmarathon.com/

It's a little too early fall for me, but I think the course has changed since last year. It used to be in Sauk Rapids. I think. 

Now that I look at the course I am not a big fan of all the turn arounds. 

[thom]

breezy8407 and @mn06 -- fun that you are both doing Monster Dash! I really need to run that one of these years.

I will probably sign up for the 10 mile lottery and see what happens.

And I join you in being jealous of Kiawah.
