\Without further adieu, here’s my marathon bucket list!
Honolulu Marathon
For my senior trip, we visited Hawaii and Honolulu was one of our destination cities. I would love to run a marathon there!
Kona Marathon
I’ve never visited the Big Island (but would love to)! What better way to see the island than to run through it?
Great Alaskan Running Cruise
Amazing, right?! Who wouldn’t jump at this opportunity? It’s a 7 night cruise with a race at each port of call and a run or two on the ship. By the end of the week, participants will have run the distance of either a half or a full marathon (runners choice). To top it off, this run cruise is hosted by John Bingham and Jenny Hadfield! It’s definitely added to my list! I’ve seen these advertised for the Caribbean, too…just something to think about!
Prince Edward Island Marathon
It’s been a dream of mine for a very long time to visit Prince Edward Island. To be honest, it’s one of the places I absolutely must visit before I die. Anne (from Anne of Green Gables) and I have been friends (not literally) for a long time and it’s been a dream of mine to visit and tour this island! Add a marathon in the mix? Let’s go…like now.
Rock 'n' Roll Country Music Marathon - Nashville
A marathon in the capitol of country music? Yes, please! The proceeds also benefit St. Jude’s – what could be more convincing than that?!
Rock ‘n’ Roll USA Marathon – Washington DC
While we’re on the subject of Rock ‘n’ Roll races, here’s another one I’d love to complete – the USA Marathon in Washington DC. I’ve never visited our State Capitol and would love to do so one day!
Nike Women’s Half Marathon – Washington DC
Another race I’d love to run in DC is the Nike Women’s Half Marathon. Who doesn’t love a little bling after a race – and this one’s from Tiffany & Co!
Tinkerbell Half Marathon - California
Last but not least is runDisney’s Tinkerbell Half Marathon in California. This is a race that I haven’t yet run but would love to. I really enjoyed the Disneyland Half as part of Dumbo’s Double Dare last year – another Cali race would be fantastic! Would I wear fairy wings? You bet! The pink Coast-to-Coast medal is super alluring as well.
I also would love to add a marathon in Europe somewhere, but haven’t researched them enough to know which one I want to run! Disneyland Paris, perhaps? Hmmm…only time will tell! :0)
There you have it…my bucket list of races! I look forward to running these in the future – a girl’s gotta dream, yes?
Have you run any of the races mentioned here? What’s one “must do” race on your bucket list?
