It has been a few years since the RMEC all picked a destination race. The fall seems to have so many options that we are spread out over multiple races. The spring is simply too busy and several race Boston.
It seems like the Myrtle Beach Marathon and Half Marathon on February 15 would be the perfect race four our club, and give us a chance to pull everyone back together (old and new members).
Is there enough interest to plan a group outing?
I need to know so I can pick the correct date for the Sweetheart 5k. If there is enough interest (15-20 runners), I can get us a block of hotel rooms and we can really have a good group trip. Myrtle Beach is small enough that we can be together, but big enough to have your own space too. The race course is flat and fast. The weather is normally very comfortable.
There are 17 weeks to get trained. I would like to see an honest list of names that want to run it. If there is not enough, that is okay. Just wanted to make some plans so we can all get focused and excited.
Yes or No, leave a comment. If it s a yes, let us know which race, and how many from your family would be running. Thanks!
Patti emailed a discount code that knocks $20 off the marathon and the half marathon. "MBM2013" should be entered before you register. That is a solid discount code (22% off the half and 20% off the full).
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to run the full marathon. I know several of us have run this course in the past and I ran my PR (half) there in 2008. I agree...it is flat and as smooth as glass. ~ Arthur
ReplyDeleteYes - half.

Shingleton's are in...
ReplyDeleteJon will run the full. I'm still trying to decide which race for myself. But definitely count both of us for the trip.
Be great to race with my RM runners again. I'll see yall there. I'll be running the half. Thanks for the code.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I would like to do this. Misty

ReplyDeleteI am interested in running the half and Cathy is interested also.

Up to 11 runners, and I have talked to several other that say they want to run. Just want to see them comment here before I add their names.
