Will run for scenery.
Just a chatty thread to prove we're not boring.....
Some of the races I've been to have intense, almost cult-like followings. At Pike's Peak or Imogene Pass, it's not at all unusual to chat with someone who has done it 10 or 15 times. These are both gorgeous, one-of-a-kind events, but I think I'd go batty doing them that often. Or maybe not......
How's about you guys and gals ? Have you gone back to a favorite local or destination race ? Are you tempted to repeat any race a bunch of times ? Do you run in to people who do ?
Stupid feet!
Stupid elbow!
I have done the Falmouth 7 mile Road Race 11 times as a runner/volunteer. 10,000+do it every year. I helped line up the first corrals which were a blast, and we took off with the 2nd wave for "free" plus a cool volunteer shirt. They changed RDs, and my group dropped but I would have done that race for years more.
Boston I have done 5 times and will go back.
I do a relay in NH with my club every year. It has 8 legs and I'm doing the missing one this year. I have done it 10 times, so repeated some.

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.
