Upcoming trail races for the weekend of 4/20 & 4/21

With the weather giving us plenty of trail time lately I have been able to log many more trail miles than in months past. I'm really excited about racing on some of these trails as it has been several months since I have done a "local" trail event. I've decided on one so far (Horseshoe Lake in May!)and am quickly narrowing down my choices thereafter. If your not already running one of the big road races being held this weekend (Presidio 10),  then take a look at whats coming up this weekend to help fill up your race calendar.

Upcoming trail races for the weekend of 3/30 & 3/31

We have two great races to choose from coming up this weekend. Hardcore endurance runners maybe disappointed that nothing over the half marathon distance is happening on the trails this weekend in the Bay Area. We are truly blessed in the Bay Area to have a few different races and almost every distance represented week after week so this week with only 2 trail races and only shorter distances offered is a rarity. Usually this happens when a major draw is going to get most of the runners like the SF Marathon or The North Face Endurance Challenge. Nothing of that magnitude is happening this weekend but another factor that limits our choices is major holiday weekends. Sometimes that means get out and run and other times it seems improper to run on that particular weekend. Perhaps that is the case with weekend being Easter? No matter the reason for the lack of choice this weekend lets not forget, we do have two great races to choose from.

Napa Trail Marathon is SOLD OUT

Three great races to choose from this weekend if your willing to travel just a bit. There are actually 4 races being held this weekend but only 3 to choose from because the Napa Trail race put on by Enviro-Sports is sold out. Every distance from 5k to 50k is available this weekend including a 9k and two 30k's, distance's that you dont see everyday. Thats spells instant PR! If you're willing to drive you can race on the Western States Trail or as I like to call it The Way Too Cool Trail. Whichever race you choose I'm sure you're you will have a great time as temperatures are suppose to be near 70 degrees.

Upcoming trail races for the weekend of 3/16 & 3/17

 Quite a few St Patricks Day road runs are happening all over the bay this weekend and the ever popular Emerald Across the Bay is this weekend as well. Perhaps thats why we don't have a lot of trail races to choose from this weekend. We do have 2 races and between them almost any distance you could want is represented. Check em out.

Running races of note for the weekend of 10/27 & 10/28

Its a weekend full of wine in the Bay Area!!! Many of you probably already have your weekend run plans made. Perhaps your running in one of the Wine runs taking place in the Bay Area this weekend. If so, be careful not to drink and run. You could get an RUI.
