Upcoming Races!

Now that I am back into my little life, I am excited to get back into my running routine. The Serenbe 15K is coming up in November, followed by the Thanksgiving Day Half-Marathon. I did both of these last year and loved them! Especially the Serenbe race. This year they are adding a 5K, so no one has an excuse not to come and join the fun. They really do the race in style and it is the perfect weekend long run before the half-marathon. Last year they had homemade cookies and muffins! All the shops were open and offered discounts to runners. If you sign up before AUGUST 31st you get discounts on both races, the Thanksgiving Race is $45 and the Serenbe Race is only $25.

Here is some additional info on the Thanksgiving Day race: Event Description:
The Atlanta Marathon, held on Thanksgiving Day, is the oldest marathon in the Southeast and one of the ten oldest in the country. It is also the only U.S. marathon run on an Olympic course—approximately 90% of the course is the same as that run by the world’s best at the Atlanta Games in 1996.

The Atlanta Half Marathon is among the largest half marathons in the US, and while slightly less demanding than the Atlanta Marathon, it is still guaranteed to work up runners' appetites. The Atlanta Half Marathon has become a holiday tradition for thounsands of runners and volunteers alike.

Children ages 7 -12 can take part in the Atlanta Track Club's Kilometer Kids' Fun Run (1 mile) on Thanksgiving morning. The one mile fun run starts in the Blue Lot at Turner Field and takes the kids across the same finish line as The Atlanta Marathon and Half Marathon where they will be greeted by cheers from the crowd and awarded a cool commemorative finisher's medal.

Finish: All races finish outside of Turner Field.
