Weekly running/walking roundup
What I’m doing: Falls Road 15K on Sunday, October 3. Why: As the Philadelphia Marathon approaches, I’m moving toward longer races. This will be a good tuneup. It could serve the same purpose for those planning to run in the Baltimore Distance Festival. What else I recommend: The Great Allegany Run looks interesting, as does the Rocky Gap Adventure Race. That said, I’ve never been to either one. More options: Memory Walk Harford County, Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes, Gunston Centennial 5K Run/Walk, Great Allegany Run 15K & 5K, BAFC 5K run and 2 mile walk, Becca’s Run, Race to End Violence 5K, GBIA 5K, Rocky Gap Adventure Race, Run for Autism, Dragon Dash 5K and mile walk, Odenton Day 5K, Bobcat Invitational 3-mile, Eagle 5K Run, Osprey Sprint Triathlon, Ridgeway ES Digital Dash 5K RASAC Ma and Pa Run (6K-15K), Donna Brashears 10K and 5K, Falls Road 15K, CBTF Superhero 5K run/walk, Charm City Run Kids XC series, Holy Child Tiger Trot 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run, NCR Half Marathon, Annapolis Striders Metric, Marathon, Komen 5K, Gulf Coast Relief 5K, Home Run 10K and 5K
About this list: By default, I make an effort to list all advertised, publicly accessible Maryland running and walking events within the next week. If you want to highlight a race outside of Maryland (or just want to make sure your race is included), please send me an e-mail with the subject line “Race listings.” The message must include a direct link to your race’s webpage, and it must be submitted at least two weeks before the event.

Thank you for this list! This was EXACTLY what I was hoping for when I found this blog! I hope this will be a regular sort of post! :)
Glad it helped, Nakiya. I'm planning on doing it regularly. - PM

I'm excited that the Sun has started a new exercise blog and that you'll be posting specifically about running. I like these posts with race listings too. It can be easy to miss a potentially interesting race for lack of finding it on the Web until it's too late. I have a hankering to do a race this weekend, so am glad to have a trove to look through.
Thanks for the compliment. Let me know if you see anything interesting. - PM
