    I do long distance running events and triathlons, and many I have to travel and pay for lodging. I do about 10 races per year, but that usually includes a couple local 5k's and 5 milers (usually 2-3). My budget for 2013 is around $2.5k...but that is going to be getting bumped up dramatically, as I am going to start getting into marathons, half ironman, and hopefully full ironman. Been mainly doing Sprint & Olympic Tri's, as well as Half Marathons and multi-race events, like RW Hat Trick.

    Almost all of my races & triathlons are local and affordable. My biggest consideration is my training schedule.

    I try to stay local and close (to budget my time), and budget destination races - for sure.

    I view races as part of my health insurance plan, so my 'budget' allows me to be generous :bigsmile:

    I register for races until my financial manager (wife) tells me to stop.
    This except husband. I'm actually looking into selling two coach purses to pay for a race registration in january. I have a problem...........
