There are many types of races for all levels of runners. I usually start running during the Spring, but there year I decided to get started early by running the Miami Half Marathon. Check out the races I ran below, and some of the images from those races. The longer the run, the slower I went. It’s fun doing all of these races. You meet so many people from the running community, you get cool swag, and you know the race you signed up for is a guaranteed time to run. Many times during the summer, you might postpone or cancel a training run, so I use these races as training runs. If you’re interested in running in some of these races, join the New York Road Runners if you’re in NYC, or find a race organization in your city.
