You can be a runner without entering races or events. Don’t let the intimidation of a race hold you back from challenging yourself at a specific distance.

Participating in a fun run or charity event can be a great way to get involved and experience organized running. There are many opportunities to discover and participate in running events.

Click on the links below to discover the marathon and ultra races I have run. I haven’t included shorter races including previous 10km or half marathon (21.1km) events but will provide more details about some of my favourites in a later post.

Depending on your goals (and budget), every runner can experience unforgettable moments in organized events, whether local, interstate, or international.

Running Calendar provides a comprehensive list with details and registration links to running events and races across Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the UK.
