    February - Black Canyon Rim Romp (P - this is actually a snowshoe race!)
    March - Gemini Adventures 24 Hours of Moab 50K - 3/22/14 (R)
    April - Heart of Steel Human Spirit Ultra, 12 Hour Run - 4/5/14 (R)
    May - Collegiate Peaks 25 Mile Trail Run (P)
    June - Leadville Trail Marathon (maybe half) (P)
    July - TBD
    August - Pikes Peak Ascent (P)
    September - Bear Chase Trail Races (P)
    October - TBD (maybe Denver Rock n' Roll?)

    I'm feeling really disorganized after reading some of your plans!! Coming up I've got...

    Woodside 35k (this is a trail run, it's actually at the very end of December)
    The San Jose 408k - March (this is an 8k race, SJ's main area code is 408)
    Santa Cruz Half Marathon - April
    Big Sur Marathon - April
    SF Marathon (this is a maybe) - July
    Skyline to Sea 50k (trail race) - October (?... date TBD)

    I will probably throw in several trail races if I can and potentially the Capitola Half Marathon in May depending on how I feel after Big Sur.

    I saw 408k before I read the contents of the parentheses and went HOLY CRAP!!!!

    My race schedule for 2014:

    February 2014-Krispy Kreme Challenge (with my boys woohoo)

    March 2014-RnR Washington DC Half**

    April 2014- Inaugural RnR Half Marathon in Raleigh

    May 2014-Marine Corps Historic Half (maybe, depending on how I feel after the prior 2 halfs)
    or the USO Run for the Troops 5k (I can run it with my boys, my oldest is getting pretty fast!)

    October 2014-MARINE CORPS MARATHON!!!!

    I am really not messing around with anything between May and October, though I might try for a 10k if I can find it. I also entered the lottery to try to run the Cherry Blossom 10 miler in DC in APril but that is still in the air and up to the whims of fate.

    December is lottery month for a lot of trail ultras so 2014 won't solidify for me for another couple of weeks. Most of the races I will put money down on will be in the 50k and longer distances. One thing I do know for sure, I'll do my first 100 miler in 2014.

    Yeah, I always have to add additional information for that race - while I do have my sights set on longer distances, a 408k race is most definitely not in the cards!

    would like to do the Berlin marathon (September I think) if I survive/enjoy the distance in May, can't think much beyond Edinburgh at the moment

    I hope you like the distance! But just FYI, the Berlin Marathon is already long sold out for next year :/
    I was trying to sign up yesterday, and I'll have to wait until 2015 I guess.

    oh no :( even charity places? I don't mind a bit of fundraising!

    ETA - LOADS of charity places and unlike London you only need to raise about £1k

    What races are you registered for or planning to do in 2014?

    I have a 10k booked for May (London)
    A Half Marathon for June (Southend)
    A 10k for October (Southend)
    A 10 miler end of October (Portsmouth)

    Possibilities, but waiting for confirmation that time off work will be granted are for

    A Half Marathon in February (Torremolinos)
    A Half Marathon for December (2014) (Lanzarote)

    I will do numerous 5k parkruns during 2014, work shifts permitting
