I’m looking forward to another fun year of races. For me, having an upcoming race on the calendar is the incentive I need to get myself out of bed every morning to train. Here is my tentative race calendar for the year:
January 22, 2011: St. George Half Marathon
February 26, 2011: Dogtown Half Marathon
March 26, 2011: Buffalo Run 50 Miler
April 30, 2011: Hurricane Half Marathon
May 21, 2011: Ogden Marathon
June 11, 2011: Utah Valley Marathon
July 16, 2011: Bryce Canyon Half Marathon
July 23, 2011: Deseret News Marathon
August???? : Any takers?
September 17, 2011: Top Of Utah Marathon
October 1, 2011: St. George Marathon (Complete the Utah Grand Slam!!!)
November 19, 2011: Mesquite Marathon
What are your favorite races?
I should be at TOU in Sept! How likely is it to sell out? Should I be all over that tomorrow when it opens? I am all about seeing a moose
ReplyDeleteFor August, Hobblecreek is a good half. Really? Are you really going to do Mesquite again?! That wind last time made me consider running Snow Canyon Half for my November run. Looks like a fun year
ReplyDeleteYou don't even know me, but look how I like to stalk your blog. I'm just starting to get into running, but my favorite races so far are the Ragnar Relays. Do one! They'll rock your socks- promise.
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on Top of Utah this year.
CORY..... Your the MAN!!!!! Thats a Killer Schedule, Literally LOL :)
ReplyDeleteIn Aug, Im running the Mapleton Midnight Half Marathon. It looks like a sweet race. See ya soon
BTW where is the Hostess Half Marathon in Dec?
ReplyDeleteaugust utah half iron triathlon. can i copy this idea for my blog?
ReplyDeleteJulie - I'm not positive but I don't think Top Of Utah sold out last year but as great as the race is, I think it's going to get more popular. Easily one of my favorite races.
ReplyDeleteEllis Fam - I've heard Hobble Creek is really good. Nothing could be as bad as Mesquite last year unless there is a tornado. Oh, wait. That already happened.
Amylee - Nice to meet you. You will LOVE Top Of Utah.
Braydon - My calendar isn't nearly as packed as yours. Think we should make Hostess Half a real race?
Dansie Fam - The tri sounds tempting. Looking forward to seeing your race calendar...
I second Braydon's comment about the Hostess Half. "Should we make it a real race?" What are you talking about?! It is the most real of any race I have ever done. If you don't do it this year I won't be your friend anymore.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you afford all these races, I'd do more races if they weren't so expensive. I'd love to the Hurricane half next month but next month I got to pay for the Saint George marathon so its pick and choose time. I would totally do the Hostess half though as you only charged $10 you should put it on again even if I am likely to puke from all that sugarey stuff.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever do more speed events. I love doing 5k's to see how hard and how fast I can run over 3.1 miles. I love halves for the endurance but love smaller races like 5ks and 10ks for the speed and pushing myself. I saw you bought a bike too when are you going to try a triathlon. They have that Sprint Turkey Trot in Novemeber as well as the one I am doing next month (not sure if you can be ready by then though).
wahoo! Great calender. I just registered for Buffalo run as well. I am doing the 50. So excited. I get to take a little me time, and what better way then running my first Ultra. My sis has done it the last 2 years and we plan on at least starting together. I didn't plan on running the race at all. It's kind of a spur of the moment plan. Should be great fun, I am very much looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteI ran Ogden in 2008, and I ran Deseret News last year. May do it again this year if I happen to be in utah then. You're a busy little runner.
Cory, Hostess half??? please!! it was so fun.

ReplyDeleteI need the date for the hostess half to add to my calendar. It's pretty full!
I love how you have photos for your race reports! I'm going to try and take photos-maybe. Running and breathing are hard enough!
I am strongly considering doing the Hostess Half again. Anybody have connections with Hostess to see if they will sponsor? Let me know.
ReplyDeleteYou could try this contact information for Hostess: http://www.hostesscakes.com/contact.aspx. Worth a try...
ReplyDeleteHave you considered the Pine Valley 15miler for August, heard its a tougher trail run but you like running trails.
ReplyDeleteAlso you got to the hostess half I need a half in December haha actually it just sounds like fun and lots of puking.
This is a really awesome and helpful article for me. I really appreciate your work for providing such useful information, thank you so much! china cotton blend fabrics manufacturers
