Signed up for the 47th Marine Corps Marathon today!

 

This event had been sold out. I suspect there's been a fair number of deferrals or cancellations as folks realize flying & hotels at a race are expensive, and the current flight tickets and cancellations are making folks queasy about that. This may be the reason the event organizers opened up these spots for new registration. For me, I am simply thrilled I am signed up for not one but two iconic races this year, the 50th Portland and the 47th Marine Corp marathon.

Night Owl 5K at Anne Springs Close Greenway

Image
  Night Owl 5K at the Anne Springs Close Greenway will be my first night race ever. If you have not run a trail run in the dark, this one offers to be a good one to start with. Why do I think this is a good one to start with? It starts at the Lake Haigler entrance, near the Greenway canteen.  There's live music by DJ Brown Sound at this time, and that's more festivities including smores by the campfires etc.  You do need a headlamp / nox gear / flashlight but you're unlikely to be lost in the wilderness This is a 5K -  not too crazy, and the trail is reasonable and travelled on Discount code: ACTIVE15 will save you 15% off registration Are you convinced? Well these sure convinced me! https://www.ascgreenway.org/event/night-owl-5k-3/  or scan the QR code here
