I am an avid runner, but sometimes it is difficult to motivate myself without some form of competition. What is nice about running in a more distance style is that there are opportunities to enter races that draw runners just like you. The difficult task however is finding a race in the location you want and in the time that you want. I was looking for some races for the summer and came across a GREAT website that gives information on races in the United States.
Running in the USA is a website that allows you to pick any state in the United states and it displays all of the races and their location in that state. What is even nicer is when you click the link it automatically opens the registration document that you simply have to fill out and send to the designated address.
If you want to only see 5k’s, half-marathons, marathons, ultras, triathlons, or trail runs there are links specifically for those races. Additionally if you decide to register you can post on the message board which can be helpful to ask more professional runners about workouts or any kind of injury you may have.
Overall, Running in the USA is a great tool if you are looking for a race, training, or want to become involved with runners all over the United States.
