Finding Running and Race Adventures

A great experience for runners is the opportunity to run races in various places in the US or around the globe – turning a race trip into a race-cation with fun for the solo runner or with friends or family.  As discussed in the Running Challenge Clubs article on AskRunGuy, some runners pursue goals of running a marathon or half marathon in all fifty states or on all seven continents.
