Chicago 13.1

I was fortunate enough to have run the Chicago Marathon back in 2022 so technically I’ve already run Illinois, however this is my first half marathon race in Illinois so I’m on the fence about this being a “repeat state” in my 50 states running journey. Either way, it was still another fun-filled Runcation with…

Beach to Bay

The Beach to Bay Relay Marathon is a race that had been on my bucket list for several years. However, being held on Armed Forces Day (and being a military family) the timing never seemed to work out until now. As luck would have it, our calendars were clear on race weekend and Eric and…

Colorado Half Marathon 2026
