My Next Racecation

March 3, 2015 29 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I’m so excited to finally be sharing this little bit of information.  It’s been a little bit in the making but it’s all set now.  I hinted about it in Saturday’s post where I shared with you my, all be it crazy, training plan that is supposed to get me through the first part of May.  See my plan here.

I’ll be running the GO! St. Louis on April 12th – Any of my local friends running it?  We should plan a meet up at the expo.

Then, if it happens, America Ninja Warrior Taping – April 17th and 18th in Kansas City (also Boston Weekend)

Then finally, my second racecation of the year….the OC Marathon on May 3rd!!!!

OC MarathonThe race weekend boasts both a full and a half (I’ll be running the half) with courses that will have you embracing the sun, surf and palm trees.

I’ll be heading out West all by myself so I would LOVE to have as many run friends meet me out there for some fun, run and surf!  Registration is now open so you have time to register, and train for it besides, you need a racecation too!  Gary, the OC Race Director is leading an amazing planning group out there and I’m looking forward to seeing and experiencing all their hard work.

More information to come.  I’m hoping to get a Tweet up scheduled at the expo.

So take a minute, head over to OCMarathon.com and get excited, then book your travel and get ready for an enjoyable weekend of fun!

    Awesome news! Excited to hear you are making the trek out here for the OC Marathon Weekend in May. You will enjoy the half marathon course. If you are free on Saturday morning, you should come meet some of our awesome Kids Run the OC runners!

    That sounds like so much fun! I love Orange County, it’s so pretty. I would love to try and swing a trip over there but I’ve already committed to a Tri that same weekend. I think if I could plan a racecation it would have to be Florida Keys…maybe Ragnar one year?

      That FL Keys Ragnar would be great!

    I live just an hour and half north of OC. I’ve always wanted to run it, but it never falls at good time for me. Many people in my running group race it every year and have good things to say about it. I am sure you’ll have a blast.. plus going solo is sometimes good for a mama’s soul.

    How fun!! You can’t go wrong with sun, surf, and sand! I’m originally from California, and I would choose this as my runcation- anything that takes me back home! You have a great schedule lined up!
