Upcoming Races in Albany and South Georgia

There is a bunch of great race in Albany and Southwest Georgia.  I get asked a lot about when’s the next 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon so I thought I’d put a list together of my favorite races around.   

A new race this year to Albany is the Chehaw’s Thru The Zoo 5K on September 22, 2012.  This is going to be an awesome race because you will be racing / running the Wild Animal Park. 

One of my favorite races of the fall is the Riverfront Run 5K on Oct 6, 2012.  This race is unique because it is an out and back where you will race down the river walk and thru a trail beside the Flint River.  This race is a nice change of pace from the traditional road race.   

The race that I am currently training for is Boston MiniMarathon in Boston, Ga (Half Marathon) on October 27 at 8:00 AM.  This race Starts and ends in the small town of Boston, Ga (less than an hour from Albany).  It is an out an back race thru the country side. 

Not going to lie.  I am pretty pumped about River Zombie 5K on October 27 at 1:00 PM.  This is also a new race to Albany.  I have already registered for this event.  This race is Run a 5K Obstacle Course down the Riverfront Trail while avoiding Zombies out to take your life.  

 So, yes I will be doing racing the Boston Half in the morning the Zombie 5K that afternoon.  I just want to record to show that I’m not scared of running or Zombies. 

One of the last great local races of the Jingle Bell Jog 5K or 10K on December 1.  This race is always very well put on every year.  I’ve always enjoy running in it.
