Just wanted to call out that if you are looking for a race to qualify for Boston - the California international marathon still has charity bibs available. The NEC Society has 8 last I heard.
This might be a shot in the dark, but I’m trying to help a nonprofit called the NEC Society get rid of their charity bibs for the California International Marathon (CIM).
CIM is a top Boston qualifier and completely sold out, except for their charity bibs!!
If you’ve ever wanted to run a marathon, CIM is a great course (net-downhill course), and if you’ve ever wanted to qualify for Boston this is the race to do.
The NEC Society is a nonprofit working to build a world without necrotizing enterocolitis, which is a devastating intestinal disease that is a leading cause of death for premature babies.
You would have to fundraise for them, but it’s for a fantastic cause.
Please message me with questions or if you are interested! You can also fill out their form here: https://necsociety.org/cim/
Just moved to Huntsville and looking for recommendations on the best long distance running spots! My cashier grocery shopping told me about the Aldridge creek greenway which I’ll definitely check out, but wanted to ask if people have other recommendations? I’m a young woman who likes to run alone and will begin training for my first marathon in August. Any recommendations are appreciated!
