Race Challenges

Every runner chases the dream of running a marathon. The marathon presents a challenge that requires hard work, determination, and focus: and when achieved, it provides great satisfaction and joy.

BUT have you ever wanted to run a marathon without having to actually run a marathon? With the Summer Series 26.2 you can do just that when you sign up for both 13.1 races at the Sizzling Soles Half-marathon and Summers Done 13.1. Complete both races and we will combine your finish times to give you a 26.2 finish time with an extra set of awards!

PLUS you can save 10% on each race when you sign up for both together using the Summer Series 26.2 Bundle! You can find the bundle under the main event cards above (click View All Events).

OR, how about an ultra-marathon? Complete all five Fit & Able 13.1 races - a combined total of 65.5 miles! - and again we will combine your finish times for yet another extra set of awards!
