May 10 - Pacers Running Festival - Half Marathon in Arlington

First year for the race, looks like first part is all downhill, middle to end is all flat, but kind of hard to read the coursemap.

It actually used to be the Battle of the Boulevard 10K (I just googled that race for another reason and discovered that it was changed). I never ran it (the 10K) but know friends who did it last year. I just know it goes through Arlington, which is hilly in general.

Sam did the BOB 10k last year and the start was the same but this course has been modified so you don't come back up wilson which is the killer part of the course.  Now you just go down wilson which is all down hill and down 110 or something like that which is all pretty flat.

Isn't the MCM sold out already??

Amy - Are you doing Frederick Half Mary? Done it before?? Is it a good race??

I haven't but my friend has!

 No, the full Marine Corp Marathon registration doesn't even open until April 1.

 Anyways, the half marathon is still open.

I might do it. The weather will be nice. Easy 13.

I'm already registered for MCM too. Can't do Frederick, I won't be in town.

Will be registering for MCM tonight, picked up the early reg entry at Shamrock.

I actually went and signed up. It's evenly between 2 easy sprints, and I'm doing CB 10-Miler next week, so I'll have plenty of time to add the extra 3 miles into my training. The fact that it's downhill and flat is the reason that I decided to make it a go. Fairly easy way to knock a half-mary off of my to-do list.

One of the perks of being Active Duty? Eh....

Actually they had a booth at the Shamrock marathon.  If you asked they gave you a code you could use to register before April 1st.  Just finished signing up.

Not sure exactly and yeah it was a one time use only thing.

Noon, EST.
