Posted this in Long Distance Runners Forum but thought I'd add it here too

Ok I have two marathons booked for 2013:

22/06/2013 Trail Marathon Wales, a trail marathon in Snowdonia (mountainous part of the UK)
www.trailmarathonwales.com

26/10/2013 Snowdonia Marathon, predominantly road marathon also in Snowdonia.
www.snowdoniamarathon.com

I am currently planning my schedule and looking for challenging races preferably trail and hilly. Focusing on TMW I currently have.

26/01/2013 Iceman 16k (Trail)

24/03/2013 Leith Hill Half Marathon (Trail and Hills)

20/04/2013 Offa’s Orror 20k (Trail and Hills)

25/05/2013 London BUPA 10k (Road:ohwell: )

I am looking for a few more interesting half marathonish runs leading up to both marathons. As mentioned prefersbly hilly and trail if you know of any good races feel free to share. I live in South London but as you can see always happy to travel for a good race.

Thanks in advance
Gareth

    On the books as of now, I've got:

    Backyard Burn 5.5 mile trail run in Annandale, VA - 03/10
    Run for Rights 5K in Arlington, VA - 03/30
    George Washington Parkway Classic 10 miler in Alexandria, VA - 04/21
    Backyard Burn 10 mile trail run in Fairfax Station, VA - 05/05

    I'm toying with the idea of the CA International Marathon in December or the Disney World Marathon in January, but want to power through these two half marathons before I commit to my next full, so we'll see!

    @kcgslp Congrats on registering for MCM- the perseverance required to complete that registration is a clear indication that you will have no trouble with the run itself! :smile: I'll be there with you! Also on the agenda for this year: North Face DC 50K (June 1), JFK 50 mile (Nov 23.)

    New York City Marathon/November 3, 2013

    Walt Disney World Wine & Dine Half/November 8, 2013
