Any races planned for 2013?

Hi everyone! As it's now 2013, I was just wondering if anyone here has any running events/competitions lined up for this year?

Personally, I'm moving on from the occasional 5km parkruns and am planning to doing a few 5milers and 10K races around the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk areas in March and April.

Would be interesting to see what everyone else is up to around the country or beyond :)

    We did the Serpentine 10k on New Year's Day. I have 3 more 10ks booked in Richmond and one in Coventry.

    My goal is to do 13 in 2013.

    I'm running my first ever marathon in July. It's a terrifying prospect, especially since I'm running it on my own :(
