There’s still time to get yourself ready and excited for spring racing, especially if you’ve managed to maintain some consistency with your running through winter. The Boston Marathon may be on your bucket list, but until then, there are plenty of April and May events to enjoy. Perfect West Coast temperatures in the springtime make these races worth training and traveling for. With three months or so of prep time left any of these are great motivators to keep running this winter.
