Nighttime marathons?
Hey runners,
I’m a female 34 year old and I have been running since I was in 3rd grade for the cross country team. Running is my escape and happy place. The past couple of years, I have had some rough diagnosis medical wise. But I refuse to give up training, ( they haven’t told me to stop) but my main issue is, most races are in the morning.
and it makes sense.
But unfortunately for me, my mornings are the worse part of my day, I wake up around 4 am in pain and have to do loads of stuff to get stable by like 10 am.
After that I’m good enough and able to tough out the day.
I’ve ran so many races and I’m training my son to run with me.
I just know I won’t be able to compete in the mornings which scares me bc that’s when races are ( that I’m aware of )
Does anyone know of any half’s/ marathons that are at night or start just not in the mornings?
I’m also interested in ultra events, basically anything that isn’t in the morning.
I would really like to have these memories of finishing races with my son together, I have a stage 4 cancer diagnosis so I know I don’t have long, but I wanna create all the memories and it was always the goal to run these races together and finish together. We wanted to do all the worlds together when he got older but right now, I’ll settle for any nighttime race in the us.
I just wanna run an official marathon with my son just incase well… you know.. life happens.
If you know of any races, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you and happy running everybody!
Hope you all have a good season!
