Tuesdays on the Run: Repeating Races

Tinkerbell half legacy runner!
Another Tuesday, another Tuesday on the Run hosted by our favorites: 
Erika from MCM Mama Runs, Marcia from Marcia's Healthy Slice and Patty from No-Guilt Life.This week's topic is repeating races. 

I am a creature of habit and when I find something I love, I often stick with it. I also love to try new experiences and branch out. Nothing is different with races and even though over the past 15 months I have branched out, I continue to do the same races over and over. For all of my race recaps, make sure to check out the page! 

My top races are of course rundisney ones. I continue and will continue to do these as the basis of my running schedule. I know the internets are up in arms over many of the races but for now, they are serving their purpose for me: wearing costumes, taking great pics and having fun with friends. The addition of photo pass taking race pics is truly a game changer! As I get faster, I get to take all of the pics i want without it being too crowded and then running my pace in the meantime. I love it! I am always in for inaugural races and then can decide from there which ones I continue and which ones I don't. 

Other races I do over and over include:
  • Great Race of Agoura Hills-I've done it the past 3 years in a row and am already signed up for next year 
  • Santa Anita Derby 5k-local and so fun
  • Santa Monica Christmas Run-I've run this race 4 times and plan to sign up again this year

Races I have done and want to eventually do again:
  • Angels foundation 5k-super fun
  • Knotts Berry Coaster Run-I really liked this 10k and would like to do it again when it hadn't just rained 
  • Carlsbad 1-miler and 20k-what a fun race day! I had such a good weekend and also good running. 
  • Long Beach Marathon-a pretty flat and small field course. I really enjoyed it in 91 degree heat so I can only imagine it when it is cooler 
  • New York City Marathon-the hardest marathon I've ever done. I want to do it again for redemption 

Races I've done and don't plan on doing again
  • 80s run-I paid 50 bucks to basically do a 10k I can do on any weekend 
  • Rock n roll LA-the course leaves a lot to be desired
  • Blacklight run-the worst run I've ever done 

New races that I am excited to try this year:
  • Rock n Roll SD
  • Surf City 10 miler-I've never done a 10 miler before!
  • Disneyland Paris-first international race! 


I keep a bucket list for running that I do update. To be able to do many of those runs, I will need to travel and fit them in when I can. Once I'm done with school, hopefully that will make it easier to do! 

How about you? Do you often repeat races? and if so, why?

All your medals are beautiful. We loved the Disneyland Tinkerbell but since it is so far away I doubt we will do it again. Disney World is alot closer for us. But I'm sure you think that way about Disney World.

I used to think that about WDW, but now I don't mind the flight. It is only about 4 hours or less on a red eye, and then about 5.5 hours on the flight back

I would love to do some races in California! Still haven't made my way over there yet. I like having the variety of races and experiences, but there are a few races I do every year or every couple of years.

Ohhh, I'm jealous of your Disneyland Paris race! I tend to be a creature of habit when choosing races.

I am so excited for DLP! It is so nice to do the same races over and over and know what to expect!
