💬 Friday Thread: Describe what you want to run, and I'll try to find it
Dream up a place, or a race, you've always wanted to run and I'll see what I can find
Over the years of writing this newsletter, I’ve built up a mental map of just about every kind of race and place I could ever dream of running.
As you probably know already, I share a list of races I think you’ll love running for paid subscribers every Sunday; but it occurred to me that maybe I can put this trove of information in the back of my mind to use in a different way.
So, I thought to myself, how about throw the question out to you — do you have a place, or a race, in mind that you’ve always wanted to run, but didn’t know how to find it?
Say, a race along the Grand Canyon, or through the streets of Paris? On a Greek island, maybe, or through a jungle trail in Costa Rica? Or maybe along the edge of California’s Pacific coast, or somewhere else?
Describe what you’re looking for, and I’ll try to find a race there for you — just drop it in the comments and we’ll go from there 🙌 — Terrell
I think your recommendations have been great! One way to shuffle the deck a bit would be to look at races by geography versus month. That way we could look at races in a particular region and pick the time of year to align with vacation schedules. I often see a great race, but I have a date conflict. Even revisiting all of the races that were already recommended and putting them in a big searchable database would be phenomenal. Also, if you could link pictures of the event (not photos of racers) course it would help determine which races I'm interested in without having to do additional google searches for photos or videos. Thx for all of the great insights.
Don't know if anyone is interested, but the half marathon is open on the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Its on November 9th. Flight to Raleigh-Durham. I might make that one as a meet-up. Looks another one about the same date in Fort Lauderdale. Just ideas for this fall. . .
