Best Races:

There are too many. Every race is special. Love hard races like 100s but also like shorter ones. Here are a few.

Probably the first one I did, DC RnR (2017) will always be the top.

Shenandoah Half Marathon (by Vacation Races) 2017 – camped overnight before at the finish line and almost missed the shuttle to the starting line on the next day!

Parks Half Marathon (Rockville, MD) 2018, running through rain and puddles is one I would never forget (first time)
