My Bucket List of Races

I've been looking at races I would like to do and have compiled a list.  If I can't do them this year, perhaps next year!  It is my bucket list!


Chicago Crosstown Classic 10K

I hope to do this race this year, being my first 10K!  I love the shirts and it has a medal!
TWO TEAMS REPRESENTING NORTHSIDE AND SOUTHSIDE CHICAGO WILL COMPETE HEAD-TO-HEAD IN A 10K (6.2 MILE) RACE FOR BRAGGING RIGHTS TO SAY: WE RUN CHICAGO!
HOW IT WORKS
1.) Choose which side you are representing: Team Northside or Team Southside.
2.) Of the thousands of participants, the average time from the first 1,000 finishers from each team will be calculated. The team with the fastest overall average time will be declared the winner.
3.) If you don’t plan on finishing in the top 1,000 for your team, don’t think you’re off the hook: Your team needs you to represent!
Please note: From elite athletes to casual walkers, the Crosstown Classic 10K is open to all participant levels.
DATE: Saturday, September 28, 2013
TIME & LOCATION
Start Time: 8:00am
Start Location: Grant Park


Tap 'N' Run

I would have really like to do this one on June 1st, 2013 however we are doing the Red Legs Run that morning.  Maybe next year...
Tap 'N' Run combines a ridiculous running race - a 4k with 3 beer chug stations* along the race course, a full beer at the Finish Line, crazy costumes, great times with friends, and unbelievable athleticism. JAM Active has teamed up with some rad bars in Cincinnati to create this awesome day of racing and community enjoyment! (*chug stations = 5-6 oz. of beer per)

In addition to being a part of an awesome and unique racing experience, all participants will receive a sweet Finisher's medal (that doubles as a bottle opener...no, really), the equivalent of over two beers and a Tap 'N' Run t-shirt to commemorate your amazing accomplishment. You also have the option to have your race professionally timed so you and your friends can laugh about how long it took to finish a mere 4k while sipping some suds!



Christian Moerlein Beer Series

While I missed the first two, I may do the Hudepohl 7K and definitely want to do the series next year!
The Christian Moerlein Beer Series is a series of three road races to be held in 2013 to celebrate Cincinnati’s rich history of brewing and running. It will include the following races: Bockfest 5K (March), Little Kings Mile (May) and Hudepohl 14K & 7K Brewery Run (September) with all races supporting local charities. Those who complete the Beer Series or all three races during the calendar year will receive a special commemorative gift from the Flying Pig Marathon.


Flying Pig Half Marathon (and eventually maybe the full marathon)

Information for 2013 is as follows.  I hope to do this in 2014!
The Flying Pig Half Marathon 6:30 a.m. start, Sunday, May 5, 2013 Minimum age to participate on race day ( Sunday, May 5, 2013 ) is 14 years for the Flying Pig Half Marathon. The half marathon will start at 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 5, 2013 , at the same time as the full marathon field. The two groups will run together for approximately nine miles, when the half marathon field will turn back toward downtown and end at the Marathon finish line along Yeatman's Cove. Walkers are welcome in the half marathon

And here are a few other races that may be possibilities:
