**Stibbs** or other runners

Where can I find 5K's listed?  Specifically the end of March or Early April.  I may have talked myself into doing one.... (AHHH!!)  With MH's support of course....

Re: **Stibbs** or other runners

  • Yay!!!  :) 

    Here is a list on Active.com - this is the Maine directory and then you can narrow it down by area if you want:

    http://www.active.com/directory/Running/5K/ME/ 

  • Yes, I always go onto active.com .  The Maine Running Company Website usually has some local ones listed on their website as well.
  • Yes, Active.com here too. Cool Running has some listings too: http://www.coolrunning.com/eventcal/index.php

     Yay! Not much notice, but a few of us are doing the Irish Road Rover in Portland on March 6. A group 5K would be lots of fun at some point!

  • And there is one in Scarborough at the end of March - Race 2 the Point.   I'm doing that with Nolan.   :)  

  • And those of us who aren't runners could come and hold up signs to support you gals!

    Eli and I might be up for this! Sounds like a nice low-key race. Are you bringing Nolan to the Road Rover? They said strollers were allowed, but we may not since it's a big race. Also would depend on the weather too.

  • Nolan will be attending the Road Rover, but I will not be pushing him!   :)  I do not want to go up that hill with Nolan and then back down it!  I'm not skilled enough yet with the stroller.  And there will definitely be a lot of people!  I thought about running it with Buckley, but I just feel like it will be too much for him with that crowd.  
  • Yeah, I have done some pretty crowded races with Eli, but hills aren't very fun. Since DH and I are both running I think Eli will probably stay home with Grammy. Manny has never run a race, but I keep talking about trying it. He takes too many sniffing/potty breaks tho!

  • I also look on trifind.com

    There is a running section, but what's great is if you'd like to try other events, swimming, biking, kayaking, etc. They are there too.

    I'm trying to work up the balls to sign up for the Pumpkinman triathlon in the fall. It sells out immediately, but I've heard its one of the best triathlons in Maine.. September, I'll be 4 months post partum..... ehhhh. Maybe I'll stick with a 5K with you :)

  • Ugh, I know what you mean!   One race I did, Buckley cost me a 3rd place win in my age group because he had to stop for a potty break (even though he went before our race!).    If it's not a lot of people, I'll usually bring him.  
  • you guys are scaring the bejesus out of me...really...I just want a simple race, with maybe a few walkers :-)

  • Don't worry, Jess!  I have not been running much lately and still am carrying an extra 20 lbs. around since baby so I have a lot holding me back!  I'll be lucky if I crank out 12 minute miles!  And I bet the 5K in Scarborough, I'll be doing some walking since it will be my first race pushing a stroller. 
  • Same here! I haven't been running much either and racing with a stroller definetely slows me down. I think I might sign up for the one in Scarborough that Annie mention. You should do that one too Jess! Sounds like a low key race with a mix of walkers and runners.
