Spring Trail Races
I’m currently trying to find a trail race to do in the spring. I actually found one that was really interesting, but I decided to sleep on it. The next day, after thinking over logistics - travel time, will I need a hotel, what food to bring etc, the race was sold out. That is the unfortunate side of trail races, most are pretty small.
For now, I am looking at three races, two marathons and an ultra - Mountain Marathon, Redmond Watershed Marathon, & Chuckanut 50k. My first choice will be the 50k, but this event sells fast. The site said the 2011 race filled up in less than 2 hrs, so I will be up early next month to try to join it. The Mountain Marathon is my next choice and registration looks open already. I’m hoping there will still be room if I don’t get a slot for Chuckanut. The Redmond Watershed is my last choice. It is still a trail marathon, but it seems the less challenging of the three. Whichever race I do end up doing, I will be putting a lot of miles this winter.
