That's funny, Sophia.
I'm signed up for a "bubble run" in June, and I want to do the two dog-friendly races I know about (though we will probably walk at least one of them, I let Walter set the pace on those). I keep checking the Chardonnay Run for their next San Jose race, because that was a lot of fun. I'm still going through the calendar of my favorite race organizers to try to decide which of theirs I can realistically do, and in doing that I got tempted by the "Run the Bay Challenge". I do love a bonus medal. I need to get off my ass (and, more to the point, out of the kitchen) and train, though.
I would like to do the super run, although thinking about it has already got me worrying about what I appropriate outfit I could put together.
I would totally do a Chardonnay run (walk) again, and I have been meaning to investigate others to do as well. I could do that tonight, in fact.
I've been search on active.com, do people use other sites?
Do you have a running store/running group in your area? Our running store's website has a continually updated calendar of races in the area.
I do love a bonus medal.
The Flying Pig Marathon does a 3-way challenge and a 4-way challenge (named for/sponsored by Skyline Chili): the 3-way is the 5K and 10K (both on a Saturday) and the half marathon (which is the next day); the 4-way is the 5K, 10K, and full marathon. You get a bonus medal and a plaque to display all 4 medals. I think Tim's brother is doing the 3-way this year. He's done the full marathon the past several years, so I guess he's decided that isn't enough of a challenge.

There were some impressive outfits at ours, including a Storm, a Rocket Raccoon, a whole family of Incredibles, and a Winter Soldier. Not as many Flashes as you'd think for a running event.
Now Vinnie VanLowe is flirting with Cordelia. I am sure he is a demon!
Vinnie Van Lowe from Veronica Mars? He was in Angel?!
He has now impregnated Cordelis with seven demon babies!
Wow. I am a little in love with the Flying Pig Marathon, I think, but I don't know if I can even aspire to that.
You want to do the Super Run in March, Lee? Capes, Chrissy Field, I think I got a Groupon or something for it...no, LivingSocial

RunningInTheUSA.com is the best--you can look by metro area, by month, by distance, etc
Spoiler alert- not actually a demon.

I was going to second RunningintheUSA.com It's what I've used.
I'm also going to strongly recommend the Hogwarts Running Club [link] One of the nicest, most enthusiastic and supportive group of runners. It's all through facebook which makes it manageable and in one place. They celebrate walkers as much as runners. They do virtual runs with great medals and they donate a tremendous amount of money to charities -- last year it was $400,000 to a variety of charities and that's what $25 race fee goes towards (bling and charity). They do so much good.
