A new year means new races! It’s time to reveal the 2014 race calendar! 2013 ended up being a bust in racing, so 2014 is the year to make that up. I’m ready to get back into racing and see what my legs are capable of doing.

Here’s my tentative 2014 schedule…

Races that are italicized mean that the date and information haven’t been released yet, but I want to keep them on my radar. As always this schedule could change at any time, races could get cancelled and more races are bound to show up later in the year. Life happens and not every weekend will go as planned, but if I can run at least half of these races, I’ll be happy.

There is one race that is missing from the schedule, and that’s my fall goal race. I haven’t quite committed to it 100%, so I want to wait until I do before I put it up on the schedule.

 

What are your major races for 2014? Is there a race I missed that should definitely go on my schedule?
