robert Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 What are your favorite distances, themes, styles and types of running races? Fun 5k races? Themed 10ks? Full or half marathons? What sites do you use to find out race schedules for your preferred style of running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synny667 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I am going to do my first 5k next month which is a fun run. I am excited to see if I can do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Clad Ben Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I like obstacle races. My favorite is Tough Mudder. I've done 3 and will be doing #4 in a week and a half. 5Ks are too short IMO. If I'm going to pay for a race it seem like a waste to spend money for a <30 minute race. Half Marathons are fun. But I like Tough Mudders slightly better. I'd like to run a full marathon one day but it is a lot of work and time to train for that. I know I'd have to up my calorie intake to min 4K/day and I couldn't spend as much time strength training, which I really enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divamom Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 the half marathon or 20 k races, OR- long training runs at 14- 17 as an average distance, sometimes more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igcgal23 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 My first race will be a 15K on Oct 27th. Looking forward to it- I just may see about doing a 1/2 marathon since I'm so close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegantri Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 For straight running I think half marathons are great. They are long enough to offer a challenge but not so long as to become time consuming in build up. That said, I am partial to triathlon and do mostly Olympic and Sprint distances races and those tend to be 5k and 10k runs respectively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Straight balls to walls running you can't beat the half marathon distance. Martahons are great, nowhere to hide if you haven't trained for it. Ultra's... definately my favourite where your mind has to learn to develop ways to overcome your body.

Octopussoir Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Zombie 5k is the way to go. Its a 5k, but you have to sprint past people and not get flags pulled off a belt (think flag football) almost the whole time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
