Race Calendar USA will be taking part in the best runners ap that has ever been designed. www.itsyourrace.com soon to make its debut.

This race calendar depends on your participation. We invite you, the runner, the race director, the running club to participate by running, adding events, and spreading the word. With all the internet has to offer, I think we should be better informed. I’m working on it, but I need your help. Don’t see your race? I’m inviting runners, race directors, running clubs to add your events! It takes a little work. I can’t have just anyone entering information. I need to approve you or all we’ll get is a lot of spam. So: 1) Register. 2) Edit Your Profile. 3) Use the contact link above to introduce yourself. 4) We’ll e mail you when approved. Once approved, we will update you to contributor or director. 5) Add An Event 6) Add more events 7) Add as many as you want. The more you do, the more I’ll help. So if you need help, e mail me on the contact link. Thanks for participating…. Bob Beattie, Race Calendar USA

Happy Hagmany! 12/31/12 and a Happy New Year. I’ll be First Footin in Connecticut and taking a couple of days off at a B&B in Mystic and a wee bit of hiking to bring in the New Year.  We’ll see you in the New Year… Good times for all!

Here’s something to think about on your next run:

Great article. Thanks for sharing this, Claire

The Mayan’s may have ended their calendar, but we and the GLIRC are thinking ahead to 2013. We’re working on our Long Island race calendars at www.island-timing.com  and our Runner’s USA 2013 Calendar here at our USA site: www.racecalendarusa.

Our hearts go out to all who are suffering during these holiday seasons. With all the bad, comes some good. Now, more than ever we find strength from our friends and neighbors. There is good in this world. Reach out and let somebody know.

As a runner, share what you or others have done to reach out and bring help and joy to those in need.

We invite runner’s around the USA to share with us their everyday running experiences. This site is designed by runners like yourself, for runners, like yourself. Join the discussion.

We’ve entered all the Marathons and Half Marathons we could find for January Race Calendar. It’s up to you to add an event and help us fill this calendar out around the country and for all distances. We will continue to add races in all regions of the USA and at all levels and distances. Run with us!

We’re currently looking for New Years Day races to include on our calendar.

We’ve updated our user/subscriber information. Getting ready for 2013. Sign up and share with other runners. http://www.racecalendarusa.com
